So I take the ACT tomorrow

[Strygun]

I have to be up bright and early in the morning to go take my ACT.

Anyone else taking it?

[Corrosion]

wtf is ACT?

[Sentrosi]

Good luck Strygun.

[JetRaiden]

its the alternative to teh SAT.

good luck, I took my PSATs for the first time a few months ago. It wasnt too too bad. got double 600s.

I dunno how the ACT scoring works.

[Squick]

I think ACT goes from 10ish which means you barely have the brain power to breath to 36. You will usually want to take it twice. I took it and got a 25, took it a second time and got a 32! The average score for 2002 was 20.8, but I'm sure it was similar to when I took it. About 1 in 8,300 students gets a 36.

Oh, and most colleges accept ACT scores in liu of placement tests, which can easily run you five hours of tests to find out if you are a retard and have to start with Math 002, or if you are going to start in Math 281.

Good luck, be cool.

GL.
when you finish, walk up to the person and say, "I say, good day!" and walk away like an Englishman

[Squeeky]

I hope you fail

[delta]

Good luck!

[Bighoss]

Don't fail otherwise you'll be a complete failure in life so don't be nervous :P

most southern colleges and universitys prefer ACT over SAT, that's why I took it.

It was easy, I am a pretty smart guy. I will take it 2 more times next year. (Usually you go up a few points each time you take it) The third time you take it, they take your scores from all 3 tests, pick out the highest in each category (reading, math, etc) and make a new score with those averages. (Usually raises your score even more.)

You failed.

Almost everywhere prefers the ACT now. I don't know about the 3 times thing though. I'm not sure where you heard that, but when I took it they just picked the best test of however many you took.

i'm like 95% positive that's what they do..

for EX: if you made:

30 on Eng
24 on Math
26 on Science
28 on Reading
27 Overall

But then if you take it again and get
32 English
25 Math
27 Reading
24 Science
27 Overall

then, the 3rd time, you did:
31 English
28 Reading
25 Math
29 Science
28 Overall

They would take the highest scores from each section, e.g.:
32 English
28 Reading
29 Science
25 Math

and give you an overall of
29 (28.5)

see?

Tests suck
