[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 210030, member: 1233"] You have every right to be gleeming with pride. That is AWESOME!!!! I am glad the teacher offered him the extra 2 points for doing all of the review. Maybe it will reinforce the need to do the reviews in the future. Being an ER doctor is a great goal! It certainly sets a high bar for him. as for the ACTs, if at ALL possible have him use one of the books and software programs to do reviews this summer for the ACTs and PSAT and SAT. He can get MAJOR $$$$$ for doing well on those. Scholarship $$. I made national merit finalist and got over $15K in tuition free every SEMESTER for the first 3 years of college. I was too young to appreciate it, and had too many health problems that interfered, but it sure helped to give me a great learning and growing experience. The first time I took the SAT my scores were OK, but not stellar. I did an SAT review with one of the books you get at the bookstore and my score came up over 150 points. It was the difference between finalist and semifinalist for me. If the school doesn't do it, working with him on good test taking strategies is an excellent thing. I have some info I can dig up if you want me to PM it to you. You have one SMART kid there. Tell him that his Board Aunties are PROUD of him! [/QUOTE]
