Also, for those of you who have been through this before, should we be taking this more seriously?

I guess its depending on what your expectations are. My son and daughter took ACT prep courses in summer/fall before graduation. My daughter's results are to be announced but my son increased his by +3 points.
The increase was enough to get him to next tier of college but in retrospect, the prep classes teaches how to do the test, it doesn't magically make him a better "book-study" student.
If you are expecting Ivy league caliber, start working on that now with her (along with all the added pressure). If its to increase her ACT score, I think summer before is good enough.
