My son is an 8th grader and did the ACT test last February. His composite score is 30, English is 27, Math is 29, Science is 29 and Reading is 33. His essay is 8/10 = 27. Any suggestions on how to help him improve in the coming years so that he can get a good score as a junior? Also, I heard that there are colleges like Duke who you can submit your ACT scores to and you can then qualify for certain summer programs or extracurricular programs year round. Can anyone share more details related to great programs for people who have a good ACT score? (whether they are related to good colleges or outside of these) How do these programs benefit the student? My child is into Speech and Debate, Reading, Math and Fencing. Any advice is appreciated.
