rob6188- you are absolutely correct, and I thought your blog could have even been longer! =) I would certainly recommend taking a FREE practice test before taking the official exams. Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions offers them all over the country at no charge. Please visit www.kaptest.com/practicetest for a list of Free Practice Tests near you!
learnedwisdom- All families should be VERY wary of point-increase promises, as a student's scaled score is not only based on their individual performance, but also on that of the performance of their peers, as well. Kaplan Test Prep
There are many "fun" SAT and ACT prep options, but quite frankly, the student's level of enjoyment depends on the student's learning style AND the manner in which they are taught. I have seen students coming out of Kaplan's "boring" classroom programs with smiles on their faces and a skip in their step because they are not intimidated by the test anymore; most students ultimately come out of Kaplan's prep programs with a completely different view of the SAT/ACT/PSAT than when they walked in to class on the first day. The student experience is based on their motivation level, as rob6188 said, as well as how much effort they put into the class, not just the bells and whistles they may get in a video game format.
In addition, Kaplan offers free practice tests, including a Combo SAT/ACT; this allows students to try the analagous sections of both tests so that they don't have to sit for two different tests to find out which one is right for them! Every Kaplan practice test comes with a personalized Score Report which enables students and their families to identify both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement- these Score Reports break down nearly every aspect of each test, including the question types and frequency of the question. It is my hope that everyone reading this reply will take advantage of the plethora of free resources that Kaplan has to offer, and try it for yourself and/or your student today!

This is in response to Elizao's comments. Getting started with www.1-1tutor.com is very simple.
The best part is that they offer 4 free sessions so that you can see if it is helping your son/daughter or not.
You may want to fill the enrollment form available at www.1-1tutor.com/registration_
The customer support executive will then get in touch with you soon to schedule an appointment with the Academic Director.
A must try for all those who are struggling in middle/high school maths..
Cheers !!
