Hannah ACT.. All tests, all the time.

That what it seems like at least! But now its behind her for a while.. the next standardized college exam is now years away for her. I’m sure she is OK with that.

Here is the ACT results. Interestingly enough, Math was her worst subject on this one. Go figure. (And when I say worst, she still did better that 67% of other college bound seniors… smile )  Fortunately, the Govie school takes the best test results from all of the various tests. So that is great news, since she did varying degrees of “well” on all the areas, just not all on the same tests! go figure.

Anyway, she got a 26 on the 1 to 36 scale. Pretty good. Good enough for UCLA to consider her.. Too bad she is a sophomore!

I just have to say here.. I love that I can brag about this stuff, but what I think I want to brag about the most is, she is really doing all of this on her own. I cheer her on, but in true teenage fashion, that only seems to demotivate her… So I try not to act like I’m too involved in her Schooling. I see her applying herself, and that is great, but even better, I see room for her to apply herself even more when the time comes. Also she seems to take life pretty seriously; She likes things done the right way. I think she will go places, and as you know, I think the future is awesome, so, The places she is going to go are going to be awesome!

Observations.

So, Hannah noticed we technically have all of the animal groups now! Invertebrates (The hermit crab.. I’m pretty sure that qualifies as an invertebrate, no?) , Fishes in the pond, Amphibians in the pond, Reptile, (the new snake! Gotta remember its name.) , Mammal, (Gigi), and birds, (chickens!).

That’s all of them!

Interesting.

On another note, Hannah took the PSAT today. She said there were only 2 questions she left blank. Here is an interesting thing.. They make you write some kind of pledge…  in cursive!  It has to be written in cursive, otherwise you don’t get credit. Good thing Hannah learned cursive early on. I hear a lot of schools don’t teach it any more.

On another note, she will be taking the SAT in November, and the ACT in December.
