Part of my incredulity is that I have a hard time believing someone can go from 1000 to 1400 just like that (looking at a conversion chart, that's like going from a 22 to a 32 on the ACT; that's just huge - and, there has to be a point where prep gets diminishing returns).
I think the essay-writing is probably where he'd get his biggest return. Like I said upstream, I am hoping that AP World is getting him into shape there (both for writing and reading comprehension, really) but he has to continue with that.
I'm not sure how much prep can help with math, other than being able to get through the easier questions a bit faster while making sure he isn't making any careless errors. He kills his math classes and had a 730 on that part of the PSAT (out of 760...the new test tops out under 800 to adjust for the test being a little bit easier). What he got wrong was either out of carelessness (swapped a less than for a greater than) or time.
