You run into diminishing returns on test prep pretty fast. You obviously could blow thousands of dollars on a private test prep tutor but you’d be wasting your money compared to the poor kid with a $40 book grinding away at practice problems every night.

I've worked as a teacher. I realized some kids really need people to help them learn. A book wont do them any good until they have figured out how to learn from books. Having a personal tutor if struggling is really helpful.

There need to be this "click" moment.

Learning styles and all of that associated nonsense have been definitely disproven, please stop perpetuating these harmful ideas.
