Best Fit 2 Meeting: The student and parent(s)/legal guardian(s) meet over Zoom to discuss survey results, testing results, big picture higher education, a testing plan, and activities suggestions. – This session should be scheduled for date about a week after the Best Fit 1 Meeting in order to give our team enough time to gather and analyze the student's information and perform customized research.
