<p>Just wanted to wish you all Happy Holidays!</p>
<p>I donât know what is going on at collegeboards. I canât get Dâs PSATs or her SATs.</p>
<p>Happy holidays to all my fellow 2010 parents!!!</p>
<p>Happy Holidays to all!</p>
<p>Happy holidays! Stay warm and dry.</p>
<p>Happy holidays to all. Hereâs wishing a stress-free holiday for our 11th graders. I had a thought today- next year she will likely be scrambling to get her applications in before the Jan 1 deadline. And the year after that she will be coming back from college for the holidays. So I am going to try and make the most of this yearâs holiday.</p>
<p>vp, too true. This is about as stress-free as it gets! Though my college sophomore has a whole month off with nothing to do and he missed all the storms having come home so early. Heâs bored not stressed!</p>
<p>Happy holidays to all too!</p>
<p>HaâŠmy Junior is spending all his free time writing a big APUSH research paper, trying to finish before we go out of town for New Yearâs. </p>
<p>But he did get good newsâthe SAT scores finally showed up online! 2300 and heâs not taking it again!
Woo-hoo! :)</p>
<p>Great news mommusic!</p>
<p>Outstanding score - congrats to sonmusic!!!</p>
<p>Mommusic:</p>
<p>WOW, music to your ears and your S as well. REALLY happy holidays!</p>
<p>Happy holidays to one and all. Iâd say weâre having Seattle weather here except I canât because itâs been snowing there. Ah well, good weather for hunkering down and watching the Laker v Celtic game in an hour.</p>
<p>One of my Sâs uncles got him the âdoorstopâ book, the US News Ultimate College Guide (S opted to view his âDark Knightâ DVD present rather than cracking that monster just yet. I said to take the best grain of salt, review what they have to say about USC first and compare to recently completed tour.)</p>
<p>S has some good holiday free time but also doing linear algebra and ⊠SAT prep for March.</p>
<p>mommusic-congrats to your son! Thatâs what we like to see-âone and done!â :D</p>
<p>Congrats, mommusic!</p>
<p>Just jumping on from sister-in-lawâs house to wish everyone a happy holiday. S is on cloud nine as he got a car for Christmas. But when we get home nest week itâll be all about studying for that SAT! :)</p>
<p>Youdonâtsay - lucky S! </p>
<p>mommusic - a big congrats to your S. He, and you, must feel great!</p>
<p>FindAPlace - Iâm sure your S was so excited about receiving that gift from his uncle! NOT! I can just imagine my Dâs face if she opened a gift and found something related to her college search! So funny! </p>
<p>I wish I could say that Dâs been prepping for her January SAT, but no - we were at the relatives all day and she was hanging out with her cousins, and now sheâs out with friends.</p>
<p>Congratulations to your son, mommusic! Great to get the SAT out of the way. Clearly there was pretty good correlation between his PSAT and SAT. </p>
<p>Wow about the car as a Christmas present! D was very happy but her presents were very simple things- more like stocking stuffers really.</p>
<p>LIMOMOF2: Good for your D that she has cousins and friends she enjoys hanging out with. That is more important than prepping for SAT, IMO.</p>
<p>Congrats to your S, momusic. Thatâs an awesome score and you are one lucky duck to be able to cross SAT off your list.</p>
<p>vicariousparent - I agree, having cousins and friends to hang out with is definitely more important than prepping for the SAT - especially on Christmas! Dâs been working so hard this semester, on both her classes and her ECs, that itâs nice to see her having fun and relaxing for once. Unfortunately, once the weekend is over, Iâll hav to give her a gentle reminder.</p>
<p>So, have any of your kids gotten their ACT scores? My Dâs arenât posted yet. :(</p>
<p>LIMOM, yes. </p>
<p>She was going to check this morning before she went out, but she mis-set her alarm and didnât have time. I checked and they are there, I am not going to stare at it too long, as I want her to take a look and then look at it together with her. She is taking a lifeguarding class and is out until dinner.</p>
<p>Her scores are C 31. E 33, M 34, R 32, S 24. Subscores were all between 15 and 18. It also says that when the writing is release it wonât affect the composite. Good luck to getting your Dâs soon. I am now going to read the ACT area to see how other kids scored on that brutal science.</p>
<p>This was good for a first time and definitely shows areas for improvement.</p>
<p>Wow! Excellent scores, jackie. Your D is bound to be very happy. And you must be proud, too. :)</p>
