)Yep, a tutor or school, even Khan Academy. Plenty of options out there to help get that SAT up! It just takes some hard work and dedication.sure if his SAT scores are his Achilles heel, then sure concentrating on the that would make the most sense.

After I’d been playing golf fairly regularly for a few years, I went into a golf shop and asked the manager what he recommended I buy to take my game to the next level. I was feeling flush, ready to spend the cash that was burning a hole in my pocket.
He asked me what score I normally shot and how much I was willing to spend. I told him. He spent a few seconds thinking, and I leaned in, eager to learn which set of shiny new clubs he would recommend.
Instead, he said: “If you’re willing to spend that much money, the best thing you can buy is…lessons.” And you know what? He was right.
Somewhere in that tale is a “moral of the story” for OP. At least I think there is.

they also do that with baseball bats When my son played baseball in Jr High and HS, they would introduce the latest and greatest bats. Some of them did make a difference. The only problem was that you still need to make contact with the ballAfter I’d been playing golf fairly regularly for a few years, I went into a golf shop and asked the manager what he recommended I buy to take my game to the next level.

Yes. I bought his books for my DS. He successfully applied and was awarded a NROTC scholarship for four years at TAMU.
My DS was recently awarded the 3 yr AROTC and 4 yr NROTC scholarship. Any student/ parent can figure out both applications however ROTC Consulting and LtC Kirkland along with his team provided great insight on the interview process and which schools award additional benefits. The 1x1 coaching gave my DS great confidence for both interviews. One of the best investments we have made. My son and I shared the costs.
I agree with others that have said for you to focus on improving your SAT. I don't think LTC Kirkland will take you on as a client if he doesn't think you will ultimately get a scholarship. We engaged with him in June after junior year when the ROTC application opened.
I 100% enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend his services. Sure - you can build your own house, overhaul your own car, and represent yourself in court too. Or you can hire a professional to guide you through the process so you maximize your chances for success. You get one shot.
A couple of examples of value-adds my DD experienced were: three practice sessions to prepare her for her PMS interview; and a day he arranged for her to spend with an Army Reserve unit so she could experience what it's like firsthand. Both were great experiences (helped her to write an excellent essay about what she learned) and confidence boosters. He also guided her to best-fit universities, and coached her on how to set up a visit to the ROTC unit. He did much more and just took away the confusion about how the entire process works, and where to focus time and energy to maximize points. It cost money, but she won a 4 year scholarship. The money was a great investment in her future and a very small percentage of the value of the scholarship. Yes my daughter was like the superstar athlete, and those athletes almost always have excellent (in addition to the parents) coaches.
Through it all, I found LTC Kirkland to be thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and empathetic to the point that upon reflection of our experience with him, I think of him as a friend.
