who is about to take the ACT this morning with no prep except for the 1-2 hours we spent last night going over the sample test in the booklet. She is an experiment (not intended as such but her online Economics course ran a little long). I plan to take the seven weeks she has off from her college classes after the Fall semester to run her through my own intensive ACT prep (she is half time college and half time 11th grade next year) for the Feb. ACT test. I wish we did not have to do this prep work, but the merit scholarships to the state school require a 33 minimum to be competitive (still no guarantee).
I wonder how much College Board paid to extricate themselves from the problem. The SAT at the end (which was supposed to be labelled a June test even though it was not) was the cherry on the top of this $5K prep program. Those who sent in their cash are going to be angry. College Board needs to answer for why they planned to deceive those colleges which use their exam for placement and scholarship decisions (marking the tests as June is fraud in my book). I am a little sorry that the whistle was blown before they could take and send those tests in.
