DD1 is a "slow learner". She is the one who we 'graduated' at a 10th grade level in June. She will be 19 in a few weeks.
DD2 is my honor's student. She finished 10th grade at home after being in PS in grades 6-9 (good experience).
They BOTH passed ALL 4 sections--including the essay--DD1 'maybe' completed 3 whole essays her whole life (majorly weak area for her). DD1's score was HIGHER than DD2's on the essay...sure the difference in prompts had something to do with it--but DD2 is my WRITER--she has a novel and writes ALL THE TIME...
DD1 used the free online grammar program (grammar 101) that someone linked here last year... her editing/grammar score was PERFECT... again this is my learning challenged dd here---I need to up my expectations for her!!!
Now I get to sit down and figure out a schedule of courses (that are still open) that will work with them commuting together (30-45 minute drive and dd2 does not have her permit yet!).
I expected dd2 to pass--but dd1--WOW--what a shocker!
