Thread: SO... The ACT Is This Weekend

  1. #1

    Default SO... The ACT Is This Weekend

    And I should have taken it two years ago.

    But, it's all good, because I'm taking it Saturday! 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.

    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.

    Depends on where you're going to school. I know that the majority of the east coast schools prefer SAT scores. More Midwestern schools prefer ACT, some ACT+ Writing.

    My college asked for the SAT only, iirc, and I'm in the midwest as well.

    That's cool. Superficially, a perfect SAT scores sounds better than a perfect ACT score, anyway. Maybe because twenty-one hundred is so fun to say.

    Even though my score was far from perfect.

    I've never bothered researching the SAT, to be honest. I don't need it. I just know that a 36 is perfect on the ACT.

    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.

    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.

Go to a community college, get your undergrad/core classes taken care of and transfer your credits to a university. It's that way if you're going from high school straight to university, which is a completely stupid thing to do unless you already have a scholarship to that university.
