This year will be DS's first time with a talent search test. I was worried about how DS would do with a timed test (he has never been timed before and likes to linger over problems, savoring the humor in the incorrect answers!) and also the eye hand coordination with filling in the bubbles. So we did buy The Real ACT prep guide and DS done 2 practice tests. He has gotten much better at time management. I don't think we'll do anything else, though.
