My kid’s were 1530 SAT, 32 ACT and 33 ACT. And all going into science/technology fields. Real dummies, eh?

I confess the sin of Envy, but applaud your parentage.

Now I really wish I had studied for the SATs. I really would have liked to break 1500, at least. 1490 was just so close, I could taste it.

Oh well, I have my excuses. Hard for a teenage kid to have much discipline when his dad just died.

My oldest daughter had a SAT practice book. She had done about 3 exams and announced about the verbal section *They don’t want the real correct answer, they want the politically correct answer. I’m taking another test!*

She upped her verbal score 100 points just by figuring that out.

My son, God bless him, tried and tried but could not figure out how to do that. You might as well have tried to explain color to a color blind person. He’s a true geek.

Taking more than one SAT may not make much difference if you only take two or three. My kids took a lot and figured out how to take the test.

But you can’t fudge the math part and obviously they did well on that.

You do have a good reason for being distracted. I know how hard it is to be motivated and concentrate after the death of a parent.
