Parent Testing Support Boundaries

Use this page to write the household rules around testing spend, when you stop paying for more test attempts, and how you will talk about scores. The student participates in the plan. An adult may handle registration, reminders, transport, or a required accommodations step.

Entries are temporary and disappear when you leave or reload. Copy your note before you go.

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. If an adult must help with an accommodations request, use the testing accommodations tracker. That sheet is the request record. This page is the household spend and score-talk agreement.

This sheet	Not 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 a tutor search. Shared registration and transport can be written here.

Fill the spend limit, stop rule, when you will discuss scores, and today's call.

Copy turns on when those pieces are written. We have not set this yet can be copied as a draft.

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

Household cap this cycle (write the number or the rule you will not exceed)

What that cap may cover

Who handles registration, reminders, transport, and any required adult stepsWe have agreed on who handles registration, reminders, transport, and any required adult steps, while the student participates in the plan.

Copy the boundaries

Hand this to your student so the cap and the stop rule are visible. Entries are temporary and disappear when you leave or reload. Copy your note before you go.How you stay out of the work itself is in how parents can help without taking over.

Test dates stay on the junior testing date sheet. This page does not pick a tutor and does not decide which scores to send.

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