And I should have taken it two years ago. :eek:
But, it's all good, because I'm taking it Saturday! :D Anyone else taking the test? I still have to start refreshing my memory on stuff for the test. I haven't studied anything since I graduated. :eep:

ACT and SAT are a waste of time and money. Plenty of other ways to get a scholarship.
Many colleges won't accept you these days unless you submit your SAT scores. >_>
Don't get a two on the writing portion like I did.
Don't go into it not knowing what the subjects are beforehand, like I did.
Most colleges require an ACT or SAT score.Quote:

I am taking the ACT score on Saturday as well. The only part I am worried about is the math portion, because I have never been good at math that wasn't addition or subtraction and I also never got further than Algebra (three schools in three states with different requirements/names for classes was fun).
I graduated in 2004 and I'm pretty sure I will get a 22.
You're being a complete ass. :pQuote:

I didn't even know the scores for the ACT. My mom just told me go to take it, and I brought *my* calculator, a TI-89, and wasn't allowed to use it, so I didn't finish the math portion as a result. I didn't know there was a science section, or whatever that was, beforehand, but I did well enough on the other two parts to get a 3...3, I think. Maybe a 32.

a scholarship you can get by getting a fantastic score on these standardized tests!
Something to keep in mind...it's harder to get into universities as a transfer than as an incoming freshman.
Of course, if you have really bad high school grades but want to go to an uber school, you can become an academic rockstar at one college and then apply to your dream school.
Something scary to consider: some effing jobs actually care about your SAT scores and stuff. I'm applying for interviews and crap now and some want to my high school test scores. Ridiculous. :rolleyes2
