<p>The big test-prep houses will actually administer a proctored test, score it, and tell you your results, expressly for the purpose of letting you know if you would benefit from their services. In Maryland, parents volunteer to proctor the test. They collect 10 dollars from each student to cover the mailing and some incidental costs. They offer it as many as 3-4 times a year. I think if you have a parent group that supports such activities, they will be able to do it. Those are quite predictive. Why do you have to take the real one?</p>
<p>You are talking about taking it multiple times and super scoring. I meant take the practice ones multiple times and take the real one when ready.</p>
<p>ohhhh, that makes sense. i guess you could call it superscoring, but they would each be different tests, and their is no parent group that does that near me</p>
<p>You will be fine. It would be very difficult to score high on the first practice test. My son scored a 620 on his first Math Level 2 practice test. He studied for about 2 months, taking 3 more practice tests. There was improvement with each. On the real thing he scored a 770. Just pick 2 or 3…then study and practice. You will see improvement, and you will be fine. Also, many colleges will not accept ACT alone. The more selective colleges will require 2-3 subject tests.</p>
<p>If you are taking AP US history you should take the SAT2 in US History it will be a snap in May or June. If you are taking pre-calc Math 2 should be pretty easy in the spring. For your third choice it’s up to you.</p>
