[quote=Anonymous][quote]BTW, the ACT is regarded as a fairer test. These are needed to give a more complete picture than grades, since some schools hand those out like candy and are not always demanding enough to predict success in college.[/quote] Yes, the ACT is a test of high school subject matter. There is less need for prep courses for it because it does not use the tricky questions that the SAT uses. And in terms of grades, we are discussing FCPS schools here, which do not give out grades like candy. Admissions officers know the reputation of the schools here and know that when the guidance counselor has checked the "most rigorous coursework" box, a high standard has been required for the grades on the transcript.
