[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]

"We" since I am paying for every test he takes and I also make the decision whether to pay for another one or just say this is enough - mentally and financially enough.

GPA is 3.4 in a top 5 private, rigorous advanced course selection, but no AP options so there is hardly any weighted grades.  All A's and B's but used to lean towards more B's until last year.  [/quote]

I get it OP.  I have been there 3x already.  It isn't just his decision and sometimes you have to say enough, even if they feel they want to keep going or are so anxious.  If he is a senior, I would try either test one more time and call it a day.  Good luck! [/quote]
