We will be meeting with our homeschool group on Thursday. Our homeschool group really likes to utilize the parents in their areas of expertise. In my former occupation I worked in a public school. My last position was as a counselor. That seems to make me the go to person for college planning questions, etc. From time to time you will find my posts are related to info that I give out at our local group.
One thing that is on the mind of many parents of high school students this time of year is the ACT. It is important to remember that there is a registration deadline for each test. You can’t just decide to sit for the exam two days before the scheduled testing date. Below is a chart of the 2008-2009 testing dates.
