[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously . . . . how did your kids do this. My junior is a competitive athlete, competing year round. Has a TON of homework (all honors/AP classes, and hard ones too). Does some other clubs and community service. Plus, these kids need some down time/friend time.

I do not know how DC is going to find the time to study, much less take any sort of prep class. I know lots of schools are TO but . . . are they really? And some are not.

So how did your kids do this? It's adding an unreasonable amount of stress even trying small times to study. DC would be aiming for the 1450-1500 for the schools that are not TO.[/quote]

You’re late. Prep the summer before junior year and take in August or September of junior year. [/quote]

This was not possible due to sports recruiting. And fall season starts 7/31, with 2/day practices and events (scrimmages and the like) on weekends. So, late or not, this is where we are. It really was not possible in Aug. Was going to shoot for Dec. but did not want to take the last paper test and then, if needed, take again in a diff format.

Right now, scheduled for every test between now and June to hold spots. But I don't see how there will be enough studying to be done by March. . . . at this rate, it will need to be June. Not what we for sure. DC is a decent standardized test taker but will def need to study to get the desired score range. [/quote]

It sounds like sports are more important to your kid than academics- totally fine, not everyone has the same priorities. He’ll still be able to go to college if he wants to.[/quote]
