My 11th grade dd just got her first ACT scores. Her composite score was a 26. Her science, english and reading were all 28's but her math score was just an 18. She had been using Teaching Textbooks for several years and she said she doesn't feel like it prepared her for the geometry section of the test. I did purchase the Chalkdust SAT prep and she felt that helped but maybe too little too late. She also did the ACT prep tests. Has anyone used the Chalkdust Geometry and/or does anyone have any suggestions to help her bring her math score up in April?

If she thinks Geometry in particular is her problem, perhaps you could pick up one of the Geometry-specific books at a bookstore. I saw several last night at Barnes and Noble in the test prep section.
