I used to work for Kaplan. We had reasonable success in improving kids scores. Go out and get some books/software and tell her to hammer the math for a few days, then study everything. If she got a 26 first shot, she's a smart kid, so I'm guessing she can get another 2-3 points just working the gamesmanship aspects of the test.

Companies like Kaplan/Princeton Review exist because despite testing services claims to the contrary, there really is a pretty limited band of material they can ask about. Regardless if the tests are 'standard' or computerized 'adaptive' tests, the questions have to be vetted against a live audience. Translation? There is not that much to study.

I hate plugging my old company (they were the greediest jerks on the planet earth), but they really did attract some of the most brilliant people I have ever met. Their materials were good. I suspect that is still true. I would certainly buy them myself if I had to get prepped for a test.

Skip the classes. Waste of $$$ as far as I am concerned.
