<p>My son took 2 SAT tests at home -- first time, he got a 1630 and second time he got a 1795.
Both tests were taken without any prior preparation and the tests were from a college/SAT prep company and these tests were given by a college consultant. We see a pattern in his test results. That is, he gets most of the questions correct in the beginning of the test/sections and then starts making a lot of mistakes towards the end of sections/tests.
This made the Consultant recommend us to see an Educational Psychologist to see if timing is a problem with my son in completing the tests correctly.
But on talking to my son, he says that more than the time, he gets bored towards the end of the section/test and so in a hurry, just clicks the answers.
Now I am wondering what should be our strategy to help him prepare for the SAT. He cannot afford to be bored like this.
Have any of you dealt with an Edu Psych and did he/she help in any way? My son is doing pretty well at school. He is a Sophomore and so far has 5 As and 1 B with 3 APs and 2 Honors classes and plays for JV Basketball. And from my initial conversation with the Edu Psych, it appears that a Psychologist would be of help to kids who are NOT doing well at school in addition to NOT doing well on SAT. </p>
<p>Any comments/advice for the above issue ?</p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
