SAT Test prep

Does HOD include any type of SAT/ACT Test Prep? If not, how have you included this in the already packed high school schedule?

As far as I know SAT prep won't be included. It's not really worth any credits. My dd did not do HOD and it was still very difficult to fit in so we did it the summer before her 11th grade year. I will probably do the same thing with my ds who is doing HOD or I will look at the electives and if he doesn't need the elective credit scheduled in a guide then I would fit it in there. There is also the 5th day which would work for a lot of people.

We've had a very hard time fitting it in. We bought the big blue book, but I think we'll just have to do a test prep class with the college or something. Look around, and you can probably find them. They run around $100-$150. We did something online, but it was seriously useless. We got it through HSLDA, paid $30, and it was a waste of time and hard to navigate. We used for several months before his first SAT, and it didn't help at all.
