The SAT Prep Dilemma: Why Parents Are Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place
And Why That's about to Change
Is your child preparing for the SAT? If so, you're probably wrestling with a frustrating dilemma that plagues many families.
Here's the situation:
Your child's SAT score will be almost as important for college admissions as their GPA. Yet the path to achieving a top score seems filled with expensive trade-offs and unsatisfactory compromises.
The Expert Tutor Conundrum
Sure, you could hire an expert SAT tutor. But there are two problems with this approach:
1. True SAT experts are rare and, consequently, expensive. Many "test prep tutors" are actually generalists who lack deep expertise in SAT prep.
2. Even if you find (and can afford) an expert tutor, you'll be paying premium rates not only for them to cover the hard stuff, but also to go over basics. Do you really need to pay $200/hour for someone to explain what a participial phrase is?
The “Budget” Prep Predicament
On the other hand, going with a low-cost tutor or self-prep presents its own set of challenges:
1. When your child hits roadblocks, there's no expert to turn to for help.
2. Without accountability, measurement, and expert feedback, students often fall behind or develop bad habits.
3. Many low-cost and "DIY” options like books and courses lack clear progression and structure.
It feels like you have to choose between:
Overpaying for expertise you sometimes need but often don't
OR risking your child's scores by going without expert guidance entirely
