[quote=Anonymous]Apparently there's a diagnostic test you can take to determine whether your kid is ACT or SAT material, although I didn't know about it until after we'd identified the ACT for our DCs. I would limit this year's task to figuring out which test is best. Then start working on practice tests this summer, with the goal of taking the first test in late spring of junior year. Then you'll have summer before senior year to get ready for another round, if necessary. If your DD is disciplined enough to do practice tests on her own, don't bother with the test prep courses. Just get a tutor to work on specific math skills or reading strategies -- those seem to be the two biggest areas of weakness. Literally the best day of the whole college process for us was when our last child got her ACT score and it was in range for her target schools. All the practice books went straight to the trash. Unless you're a natural, those tests are pure torture. [/quote]
