The thought of putting your child in college early can
be a frightening experience for some parents but the
advantages especially for gifted children can be many.
The following links contain an assortment of
information that I think will be useful. Please enjoy!!
Setting up the ACT, SAT, PLAN, or PSAT can be a
confusing chore if you have never done it before. Be
aware that most have a questionnaire at the
beginning that needs to be set up by your teenager
and can take as much as an hour. If your child is
stronger in Math and Science the SAT or PSAT test is
better for them to take. If your teen is stronger in
Reading and the Humanities then I recommend the
ACT or PLAN.
These tests can be scheduled year round in your area
at the following websites:
http://www.act.org
www.collegeboard.com
Any score over a 21 on the ACT and anything over
1000 on the SAT (without the written section) is a good
score. The written section is new this year and should
add a minimum of 500 points on the SAT.
If you are interested in how these scores compare to
the scores of other high school's in the Indianapolis
area the annual ranking of the cities public and
private high schools check out The Indianapolis
Monthly annual report card on the cities schools.
