Cricket2--yes, he took SATs recently and his essay score was lower than when he was in the talent search 3 yrs ago and didn't even try hard. He has hopes of applying to one or two colleges that are tough to get into, so he'll need to work on improving that score.
Ah, got it! This thread has a lot of good tips. I'll bookmark it for dd#2 who took the SAT last year in 6th, is doing the ACT this year, and will probably take the SAT again through talent search before she needs it "for real," too. Good luck to your son!
