I have one son who just started college, and another who is 16. If you have any teens who will be attending college, even in a couple years, believe me, you want to get as much information as you can!

Oh what awesome timing! We just officially started our SAT prep today for my 2 older girls–and we had a blast! Our youngest joined in the fun, and was getting all the neat tricks, tips, clues, common mistakes, etc. It was invigorating! I limited it to only 2.5 hours and they wanted more and more. They’re actually all writing essay prompts for fun right now! Kids are such amazing sponges.
While we haven’t focus our research on ACT yet, I’m eager to learn as many tips as possible Monday night.
