[quote=Anonymous][quote]No dilemma if she took the time to PREP! Don't mean to scare you, but it's March. My kids were done with testing at this point.

OP here. There is a late August SAT test and also a July ACT. Isn't that enough time?[/quote]

Yes. There is still enough time. It is nice to have a firm score by the summer so you can make a reasonable college list, but it's not absolutely necessary.

If she really takes both tests completely cold and then preps, there is a good chance that her scores in all sections will improve next time. You likely won't need super scoring. The concern about cheating accusations is worth noting.  I can understand not prepping (my current junior didn't) but see if she will at least take a timed practice test (from Khan Academy, from the official ACT booklet).  That will probably boost her baseline score a bit just by ensuring she's familiar with the tests.  It might be too late for the SAT, but have her do it for the ACT.

If she's a strong student who did worse than expected on her PSAT, the ACT may be the better test for her anyway.  (Both of my kids did better on the ACT and neither one prepped for it at all).
