SAT Coaching....Does It Work?

According to testing industry watchdog, Fairtest.org a number of studies indicate that a good coaching course can raise a student's score by 150 points or more on the test's 2400 point scale. The Collegeboard originally claimed that performance on the SAT could not be improved by coaching but now it has backed away from its original claim. The College Board now sells its own test prep materials and such test prep materials now comprise a significant portion of its annual revenue stream.
