Happy October, readers! I would like to remind all of you students the importance of taking your standardized tests as soon as you can once you are a Junior. Trust me; it will be a lot less stressful if you take the ACT during your Junior year. Why is this? Simply because if you choose to retake the test to achieve a higher score, you will have enough time before you apply to colleges. I encourage taking the test more than once, just so you can try to exceed your previous score. Continue reading →
