Thanks for all the advice.
We all know there are levels of student motivation when it comes to these tests. Some kids are highly motivated to do well and some kids take the test only because they have to. S21 is right in the middle. He’ll give a decent effort on the first try, but (depending on his score) will likely give less effort the second time. I’m just trying to figure out how he can minimize pain and maximize outcome.
BTW, S17 (ACT) and S19 (SAT) both did worse their second time around, so I’m not even sure why I’m trying to care. lol
Editing to add: Summer studying for September ACT was a ** DISASTER ** for S17, so we won’t go that route for S21.
