<p>Usually the easiest “up side” is the science section on the ACT. It’s not science, it’s graphing, answering questions - so practice tests here can help and pace yourself through it. With his PSAT score I would strongly suggest the SAT. There are some strong scholarships still offered for NMF - which I would think he would be with that score? Depends on your state but 220 should be good almost anywhere. So looking for some of those schools would be good as well. For example, Tulsa University still has a lock of stock in PSAT and although full ride is not a given, NMF’s are strongly considered if the rest of the package is solid.</p>
<p>@MaterMia Unfortunately 220 will most likely not be enough to make NMF in my state.</p>
<p>Ugh - that’s a bummer. And he should be set up well to knock that SAT out of the park. More schools superscore the SAT than the ACT as well. </p>
