Dmmetler Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Got the email for DD’s today. She’s now in the category that she should be eligible for merit aid almost anywhere that gives it. :). Hope others have good news, too :). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstharr Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Goo job. Is there a special sign up to have early release of scores?. The new 8th grader took the June 2nd exam for CTY/SET. The release date is otherwise posted as July 11th. WHOOPS! He took the SAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 I was surprised at how fast they came. This was the first time she’s been able to get scores online. There are benefits to finally being 13!. On the SAT, if your DD has a CTY account, they may post there before they come in the mail. DD’s did, back in 2015 :). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I was shocked how fast they came! My 8th grader took if for the first time. She had 1 stand out section and otherwise has plenty of work. LOL. My kids at that age don't care either. She didn't even ask for her full score. Just good practice. She did fantastic on K-12 open ended/untimed testing last year so I knew she was ready to move on. It's good for her and it was for my other kid to practice the speed/focus thing because they have some asynchonicities there. The junior just got his this morning. WHOOP WHOOP! He is happy and done and can academically apply anywhere he wants. He prepped for this go around and the speed/accuracy isn't natural for him so I'm so happy for him! Lots of doors are open! And also crossing fingers for merit aid! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Both my kids took theirs on the same day at the same site. One did writing one did not. One kid's scores were in 3 days earlier than the other? Hope everyone sees scores very soon! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are benefits to finally being 13!. She didn’t do writing this time, since none of the colleges that she’s interested in even look at it. On the SAT, check CTY accounts if your Chold has one. When DD did it at age 10, CTY got her scores several days before the official release date, and almost a month before the came in the mail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ofus Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Congratulations! Quick question - did you & she sign up for a college board account at 13 & it auto-imported any pre-13 test scores? Or do those not appear? Or did you go through a different procedure? My sons took ACTs in middle school but it is now time for them to create college board accounts & I just want to make sure we've done in properly. Thanks!

catz Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 All my kid's talent search ACT scores show up in his ACT account. You can have them deleted too if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lang Syne Boardie Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I forgot to update - we finally received the scores! Ds#3 hit his goal. He is over the requirement for top scholarships locally. Just because there are limited places to brag about this (nowhere, actually), I'll share it here: That means my record is unbroken! Three out of three of my homeschooled seniors have scored high enough for full merit scholarships, on their first-ever-in-life standardized test. Combined with not-so-high income and living at home for undergrad, this is how these blue collar boys go to college without more debt than they could pay off in two years of working as a fast food franchise manager. In other words, low-risk enough that we dare. One more boy to go: Ds#4 starts ninth grade in the fall. (Edit: Ds#2 decided not to use his acceptances and scholarships - he is now thriving in a plumbing apprenticeship. And I'm not sure Ds#4 will be the college type, either - but these were some of my homeschooling goals - to do my best to make sure that they could go to college if they wanted!) 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Congrats! And good for your ds2 for choosing his own path. We need smart people in the trades, too! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 When you sign up for an account, You use the ID number from prior tests, and yes, they are there. ACT does not report those talent search scores except on explicit request (it cost $35 extra to get DD’s 6th grade scores reported to the local community college). we haven’t done a post 13 College board account yet. As I understand it, though, only those scores you told them to keep will be retained before age 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for most kids age 13 puts them in grade 8. I am just double checking on this because I don’t really want 8th grade scores retained and I thought they would be automatically deleted.
