Parent Testing Support Boundaries

Write your household testing spend limit, stop rule, and score-talk boundaries. Your student keeps the sit calendar.

Use this page to write the household rules around testing spend, when you stop paying for more sits, and how you will talk about scores. Your student still owns the sit calendar.

Do not use this page to pick SAT or ACT dates. That lives on the junior testing date sheet. This sheet does not hire a tutor and does not decide which scores to send. If your student is still choosing a path, the testing readiness quiz is theirs, not yours.

This sheetNot this sheet
A written spend cap, a stop rule, and score-talk boundaries you can hand to your student.First sit and retake dates, a tutor shopping list, or a score-send plan.
Fund, pause, or stop support inside a cap you already named.Daily score coaching, or taking over registration from your student.

Fill the spend limit, stop rule, talk rule, today's call, and the sit-date check.

Copy turns on when those five pieces are written.

Write the household rules

Put your own household number in the cap. This page does not publish prices and does not recommend a spend. Standing task owners (who pays vs who registers) stay on the responsibility map.

Spend limit

What that cap may cover

Stop rule

Kind of stop

Score-talk boundaries

When we talk about scores
We will not

Today's call

Fund, pause, or stop

Copy the boundaries

Hand this to your student so the cap and the stop rule are visible. How you stay out of the work itself is in how parents can help without taking over.

Put the testing-window status back on the junior on-track checklist once this cap exists. If you later need a hosted family meeting, use the parent pre-application family meeting.
