[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have your kid do ACT/SAT prep between 10th and 11th (assuming they've taken Algebra 2), and test in the Fall of junior year. This way, when they have loaded up on APs junior year, they can focus on studying for them, and not the standardized tests. Then, work on essays in the summer between 11th and 12th. Yes, really. The earlier the better for applications, esp if applying to competitive schools (not only top 25, but also those that receive 75,000+ applications - word to the wise, get them in early). Then, senior year, they can focus on current school work, APs and waiting to hear, not fighting with you on getting applications in. ~been there, done that Xs two, one to go[/quote] No test prep before spring junior year, maybe winter if kid's spring schedule is tight. Take test prep before you take test.[/quote]
