YES!!  The ACT/SAT in 2024 are not the tests we remember.  Have you all looked at one? They're not tricky and they literally test basic grammar, reading and math.  I mean, look at a test when you have a minute.  It's all very basic stuff: [b] the proper use of colons, reading a paragraph for content[/b], doing basic geometry, etc.  They're not complex questions!![/quote]

Those are the things are public school system fails kids.  Writing instruction is atrocious.  They also tend to accelerate kids in math too quickly and pass them along with inflated grades so there is no strong foundation.  We had our kids do a short boot camp with a tutor before their private high school entrance exams in grammar.

Senior knocked ACT out of the park after 4 years with almost no ACT test prep.  36 in verbal and reading. 35 math.  [/quote]
