Here is where I’m at now. I need to increase my pH slightly but my chlorine is high…
What is my next move? My daughter’s 11th birthday party is tomorrow.

Anybody else look at this and think the strip/scale are upside down? Could it be that the test pads were adhered in the wrong order? If so, CYA is OK/little low, TA is a little high, CL prolly okay, and pH okay. Besides, I've never really relied on test strips -- I much prefer the Poolmaster test kits like this one:
