[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

not sure who the "we" is since driving him to the test isn't that hard.

If his grades are good, he will have many good choices even without a better set of scores.  At least this was true for my kid who was very similar.[/quote]

As described in the post, OP is clearly working with her son on test prep. Sure he alone will sit for the test but it seems a collaborative decision.

I *think* you're actually more dumb than OP, somehow.

Thank you SO much for reading between the lines and understanding jokes and sarcasm.  Great work, jolly chap.   :roll:

If you son is still willing to prep I would try the SAT.  DD is a senior in calc AB, math is by far her best subject in school with As since freshman year.  She sat for the ACT 3 times and got 29, 27, 27 on the math.  Her super score is 34 on the other 3 sections leaving her with a 33 (rounded up) composite.  She has decided to stop bc its good enough and she is 100% over it but we are also mystified.  She did the first test junior fall virtually un-prepped. The second junior spring and the last this past summer after 6 weeks with a tutor.  She decided to do ACT over SAT last fall bc of dates and something a school counselor said about her PSATs; at this point I wish she had done a benchmark test in both before we committed.
