[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what there would be other than test prep assistance and a substantial amount of time prepping, perhaps with a tutor. Yes, lots of schools are test optional now. Is he taking a rigorous course load? If his GPA shows that he is excelling in advanced classes, you may not need to show stellar test scores, depending on the schools he's applying to. My kid had so-so grades in advanced and AP classes (resulting in a high weighted GA but somewhat mediocre unweighted GPA) but scored pretty well on the ACT, so I knew he would need to submit the scores to get merit money. If you're looking at schools that give merit money, some will show the standards for what GPA is needed for merit money when applying test-optional versus what GPA/test score combination is needed.
