[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea if OP is gaming the system or not. I think it is not an impossible scenario as she came across as pretty neurotic, judgemental and unpleasant in some earlier posts.
However, it seems weird that if your child needs accommodations and it takes him a week to complete one ACT test that you would even consider having him take it again just to get a perfect score.
I assume the test is stressful for him given his disabilities. Why obsess over that one extra point on the ACT when he has already done so well.

Also, if your kid is in private, why make such a big deal about public schools inflating grades? Your child will be compared to others at his school rather than across the private-public spectrum.

Actually he won't retake.  I think I made this pretty clear in subsequent posts.  But you probably didn't read the entire thread...so I forgive you.[/quote]

It's pretty clear OP came on here to do a humblebrag/brag about her kid getting a 35 (which hasn't been confirmed unless I'm missing something - it was based only on prep) and only at about 8 pages in does it come to light that her kid is getting extra time on the ACT.  Now she's defending that.  I would be the first person to argue that SN kids sometimes needs more time - both of my SN kids got extra time on the ACT but it was brutal raising them, expensive and they both have very slow processing speeds which will hamper them their entire lives  - however, I don't feel OP was honest in the initial post, which means we've all wasted our time - and I do find that annoying.[/quote]
