[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks, all. DC is interested in getting a job. Does it matter if it’s retail and not related to anything “rigorous”?[/quote]

The point is it won't move the needle on merit aid, which is largely based on academic achievement.

If your kid has ADHD and low processing speed, or whatever, did you get jump though the hoops of getting him extended time? The College Board and ACT companies will required official documentation and it takes a bit of time. Generally, the SAT is more complex questions but more time for each answer, and the ACT is less complex questions but less time for each answer. Which means that for kids who have extended time, sometimes the ACT ends up being the easier exam. On the other hand, it has a science section the SAT doesn't have, which can required careful reading and occasional background knowledge. The only way to know is for your kid to take both mock exams and pick the one he feels more comfortable with.

If he has executive issues, I hope he's medicated. [/quote]
