“There is a too early for almost every kid”
In many cases, the best thing you can do for your 9th grader is not getting an early start on test preparation, but rather setting them up academically for success. A 34+ on the ACT or a 1500+ on the SAT doesn’t happen without strong foundations.
There are cases when students can (or need to) get their testing done early, but generally, 9th grade is an excellent time for academic excellence and strengthening content foundations.
