Ksaz I am glad the kids take after their mom😀 Just kidding. 

Kids are under so much pressure these days with competition for scores. My little one scored in the 94th percentile on the PSAT, she just turned 16.  She said ‘ mom just save ur money, now you will see all the colleges come looking for me. Merit scholarships are hard to come by so lucky you Ksaz.

Lena, given that I am a canecutter, the kids must take after their mom when it comes to their education. 

When our daughter came out of the her PCAT class, she texted us that she got a 94 composite score. Because I am accustomed to them getting good grades, my initial thought was that was not good but I didn't share that reaction with her. When I learnt of how others did, I realized that she did pretty good. The top PCAT performers score between 95 and 99 so her 94 is a blessing. I was also cautioned by others that when students take their MCAT or PCAT, they sometimes leave a corridor of tears behind them. I guess that it is the same with kids taking other college aptitude tests also.

That 94th percentile on the PSAT is really good. Congrats to your daughter. She will go a very far way. Our son is now 15 and he scored in the 99th percentile on the PSAT this year as well as last year. His passion for reading has really served him well in broadening his knowledge. He  does have a good chance of getting into the College Academy next year so this could be his last year in high school. He is already taking college classes from Broward College.

Thanks again for your kind words.
