<p>My daughter is doing her last ACT test on Saturday. Her highest score was June w/27. October's was unfortunately 26. She just needs a 28 to get the next level merit scholarship award. Means a lot to me financially. </p>

<p>She's so sick of these tests that she's done nothing to date to study or prepare. In the past she has done short instructor led courses thru school. She's a 3.9UW/4.19w GPA and a bright kid but she is a slow reader. Believe that's hurt her. Her best scores have been Math and Literature. Worst in English and Science.</p>

<p>Am thinking of calling her in sick Friday if she'll give this some study time. So if I can get her to give several hours on Friday to prepping, would love to see suggested outlines for what to do or study. We have the red book, 2008; Zaps; another big book and have paid for the act on lne prep in the past and would do again if anyone thinks it's worthwhile.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Don’t pull her out of school, that’s completely unnecessary. Make sure she gets at least 8 hours of sleep and goes to bed at a reasonable time every day this week. When she gets back from school, don’t stress her out about the test. Going over a few notes is fine, but do not take a whole practice test. Taking a practice test will just tire her out. Make sure she goes to bed early Friday night. I also suggest that when she gets up she does push ups or sit ups to get her blood flowing. I did this for my last test and I really do think it helped me wake up. Good luck to her!</p>
