We would occasionally talk about the experiment the
With our third high schooler now heading into her junior year, I realized it is time to ramp up our preparation for college admissions testing and more. In a busy homeschooling household with multiple ages, I am still surprised at how easily these type of requirements sneak up on us! Thankfully there are multiple ways to include some test prep time.
