<p>I’ll look into the ACT. He will be taking the SAT in May after studying with either a book or an online prep site. We also need to figure out the subject tests-this really is way too complicated!</p>
<p>He has excellent grades and is top 5 in a small class of around 200. He stayed in the public school because he didn’t want to leave when we offered him the chance to go to the same private Catholic school his father did. It was a great choice for him but now I can see how it might hurt him test wise and admissions wise getting into the “right” college. However, the bottom line is he is happy and I have no regrets about our decision-except once in a while when I look up test results like the PSAT and realize what a difference it could have made if he had scored a tiny bit higher! I’ve got to let that go and move on…I’ll see you guys in the test prep section and other areas around here-thanks for the good insights.</p>
