[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some reason, my child can not get above a 31 on the Math ACT, even though he is in Calc BC.  He has done multiple tests at home, reviews, and has the books.  Everyone I have graded at home for him is 33-35.  He has taken it 3 times and all were 30 or 31.  It is his lowest score on the ACT.  His English is 34, Reading 32, and Science 32.

He is obviously frustrated.  He has never taken the SAT.  Took the PSAT and got in the low 1300's sophomore and got a composite 29 PACT also in sophomore year, so his college counselor said to stick with the ACT.

Looking for advice.  [/quote]

From my experience as a high school teacher, it's incredibly frowned upon to sit next to your almost-adult son while he takes the test and take it with him. The College Board, as well as every other high school student in America, would prefer you allow him to sit alone and take his own test.  "We" don't need to take an SAT, no matter how hard it is to cut the umbilical cord.

Additionally, it is a College Board requirement and almost every accredited university in the modernized world does now require the detachment of umbilical cords, so that is something to consider as you enter his junior year.  He only has two years left for an entirely necessary medical procedure that should have happened approximately 16 years ago, naturally.  [/quote]
