<p>Okay let’s not assume that all Asians or all people who do well on the SAT do 3 hours of SAT prep afterschool - I’m Asian, my philosophy/test results were pretty similar to Drought’s, and I know maybe 1 Asian who might possibly have prepared really hardcore. I don’t live in CA (maybe the culture is different there?), but I doubt anyone here takes an SAT course that time-consuming. And we’ve got plenty of 2300-2400s. Not to say anything against overachievers. I’m sure the proportion of overachievers who are successful in life is far greater than the proportion of underachievers who do well.
Personally, I don’t see any value in SAT classes at all, but I guess that depends on what kind of learner you are.</p>
<p>Your son amazes me, dragonboy. Did he prep for it?</p>
