Oh boy, now I’m in a panic!

My son took the ACT in 8th and 9th grade as part of Northwestern’s talent development program as their recommended means of determining math placement. He took it again as a junior in high school in December after preparing for it and got a significantly better score by 9 points. We are going through this process for the first time, and it sounds like we’ve already made a huge mistake! He could be penalized by the ACT and potential colleges for academic growth?!? I can’t even…
