Thanks for the response and answer Erica.
I had also purchased two ACT test prep books from Amazon. They weren�t the most recent prep books so they were on clearance.
My kids had no interest in studying for a practice test. They each took the ACT cold and my daughter took the SAT soon afterwards, which I registered her for directly, rather than going through a talent search (and saved some $$).
My daughter enjoyed the SAT testing more than the ACT.
In addition to the �shocking� number of questions to complete within the time parameters, both kids complained that the classroom proctor for the ACT stood behind students for a long period, one at a time, and read over their shoulders, watching while they selected their answers. Neither one was traumatized, just peeved.
DD took the SAT at different school. The experience gained from the ACT combined with a non-intrusive teacher made for a much more pleasant academic challenge, so in her case, RL practice did improved her comfort level and performance.
I�ll have her take the ACT again next year as a 9th grader.
