In the hopes that my prior post wasn't totally offensive...

I'm not meaning to imply that people here are doing massive prep for these tests and I really do see a big difference between doing something like review questions that the test company sends and working with the child on test taking strategies vs. signing the child up for a full Princeton Review course prior to taking the SAT at 10. The former, IMHO, is something that helps the kid know what to expect and develop skills that will help him in school overall.
