<p>congratulations on your excellent AP scores…good work! The AP history you racked up is only going to help you and will be noticed. You have taken many difficult courses.</p>
<p>Even so, you should spread out your applications to reach colleges and match colleges. Vandy is a reach college for most students no matter if minority or recruited athlete only due to the excessive number of applicants in the last five years so you have to respect the odds and make sure you also apply where you feel certain you will be admitted. Everyone has to make these evaluations and to attach to their match colleges while making every effort to go to a favorite college with lesser odds.</p>
<p>I think you need to devote yourself to the 10 Real ACTs book. My eldest child vastly increased his test scores from self study the summer before his senior year in high school when the light bulb went off and his motivation and perhaps his maturity kicked in. I know it is a lot to ask when you take a heavy course load senior year and April is so hard on juniors with AP exams, but you really should focus on your ACT. There is always a chance that the SAT would suit you better and you just don’t know it yet as an option but if it was me, I would embark on very timed intentional practice exams. </p>
<p>To lessen the onerous aspects of test preparation, I advised my son to do an open book exam on the ACT and to look up the answers after each section and to study the answers themselves. Reading how the correct answers were obtained was a good way for him to wake up to how the exam worked. This worked very well for him. After he understood the correct answers better, he was able to do better in timed practice exams.</p>
