My niece/God child, was invited by Johns Hopkins University to take the SAT'S. She went over the study guide, took the test, and score higher than 73% of ALL the high school students that took it. She is only 12 years old:lightbulb | How fabulous!! My daughter started taking these when she was 12 also. My mom said can she go to college now - & I had to say yep - she scored higher than most hs seniors!! Every other yr she took the SAT & the next yr the ACT. In the end her scores were very high 35 out of 36 on ACT -- making way for her to attend and choose from a wide variety of the top colleges this year. Quote:

That is awesome! I know you are so proud of her! My 13 yr. old daughter was invited to take the SATs and/or ACTs but we didn't do it. Now you're making me wish we had.:p | Make sure she takes advantage of the opportunity the next time. Statistics show that students do improve every time they take it. Any anxiety she feels will dissipate with each experience with the exams. My daughter never started studying for them until her sophomore yr & then just really focusing on the areas she knew she needed the most work.
But my silly girl loved the ACT & SAT study guides. If you need help choosing some good ones pm me. Plus she can sign up at collegeboard for the question of the day. They'll email a sample question every day - my daughter & I would both get them - I still do - keeps the old brain sharp.
Plus freerice.com is a great game to help the hungry & build up the vocab |
