Bring the last two official Composites, the college 50ths, and a date you will stop. The conversation is a plan, not a mood. "I am tired" is not the argument.
What to put on the table
- The band vs the list's 50th and 75th.
- Whether another Saturday still posts before a deadline.
- What you will do with the hours instead—essays, grades.
Deadlines: last-chance retake.
The bottom line
Show the numbers and the calendar. Ask for a last date, not for permission to feel done.
Start practicing
Start with a free diagnostic, then drill your weak spots with 15-question quizzes and track how you're doing across Reading, English, and Math. Compare plans whenever you're ready to go further.
