Since the test was from a test prep company, it may not be totally accurate. Has he tried real ACT’s from the real ACT book, or does he have any old tests from his sister? Some people think that test prep companies make their sample tests more difficult than the real tests to scare people into taking the prep courses. Why not let your son take an actual ACT test to see how he does? That may be more accurate than the test prep test and can give you an idea of what he needs to work on. Even if he gets a 29 on the real test, chances are it will go up by the end of junior year, even without prep. In any case, paying about $45 for an actual ACT is less than the cost of a prep course, so why not start there?
