My son got a 30 as well. He took it over the summer. It served him well. He has been accepted to every college he has applied for. Of course, he has a good GPA as well. However, I am sure your son does too. Congrats to your son!
That's excellent news. Even though I understand he will try to make his own decisions in life, you should really try to push him toward some sort of engineering discipline or perhaps a combination of statistics and computer science. The latter in particular will make him very valuable.
About 6 months. He did the writing part this time, so maybe that helped. He would like to be a novelist. Already started his first book....
But he also enjoys computer science/coding.
Awesome. If you can try to push him towards statistics or some form of applied math. Statistics are important if he is interested in getting involved in the machine learning aspect of computer science.
Machine learning is proving to the basis behind artificial intelligence. The decision model is based upon statistical probabilities.
that's great! I got a 30 on mine too, despite doing not so great on the SAT. My score helped me get a good scholarship. My parents had no idea what the scores meant.
When did those scores change to that? Remember when my son was in school wasn't it something like 1600 being a perfect score? Son had a friend who got a perfect score way back when, whatever it was. Son was not far behind in that score. Gosh, it's been so long, and they do grow up fast! Son is now 30 years old!!!!
Congrats on his accomplishment. Hopefully he will continue to excel in life!
Edit: You can tell, I'm out of the loop...I saw SAT, not ACT.
