Good luck to the punks having to take their ACTs at 8 a.m. on Saturday. What a waste of time and money.....

One week until A17 takes the ACT......

I HATE STANDARDIZED TESTING, and I have not made that a secret.  I do not think standardized tests are an accurate representation of the majority of students (99%). 

They are an archaic measure at best and need to be done away with. 

My kids have always tested above-average but that does not even matter to me. 

Some kids/people are just not good test takers but it is a nonnegotiable matter at the moment so we will play along.  Good luck A17 and the rest of the guinea pigs taking the test next Saturday!

Ramped up studying for the ACT......

Kid #2 heading to the ACT........

I just do not know where the time goes.  C18 is in college and A16 is getting ready to take the ACT.  I am just posting a few more resources for test prep.  You can find other blog posts here for resources that C18 used.

Seriously hate standardized testing and have many blog posts about testing but since they must be done.....

it certainly helps when they come back positive.  A16 just finished up her last standardized test to end 10th grade and head into 11th, and she nailed it.

Many of her scores were "post-high school," as in super awesome.  So proud of both of my girls!  Life gets better and better every single day!  Feeling so blessed.

ACT round 2 coming up......

Even though C17 got a great score the first time around, she is going to take this test one more time in February.  Some students take the ACT three or four times before applying to college.  The nice thing about this is that the tests are super-scored so only the highest scores will be used by the colleges.  

Mommy bragging rights..............

So proud of my girl for getting ACT scores, the first time taking it, better than good enough to get in to almost any school she wants.

She said next time, she will do even better!

Way to go C17!

ACT testing is finally here................

Tomorrow is a big day for several high-schoolers we know; C17, my nephew, a handful of friends, and thousands of high-schoolers!

It is the final ACT of the year.


So good luck to all of you students and way to go to the parents that have helped them get this far and are willing to get up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday and drive them to their testing destinations!

Great video.

Poor guy, he has no idea she still has 3 hours to go on the ACT prep.....

Smokey is over ACT prep........

We shoved everything on the table back so C16 could work on ACT prep so Smokey seized the opportunity to take a nap there until she was done.
