ACT and my life

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>The ACT is ruining my life.
Anyone know my feeling?</p>

<p>lol what happened?</p>

<p>you wouldn’t understand,
since you got a 36 composite … =[</p>

<p>life is just not fair…</p>

<p>It’s just a standardized test. </p>

<p>When you’re a old, dying creature and they are writing your obituary, nobody is going to give a **** what your ACT score was. </p>

<p>Memorizing a bunch of formulas and grammar rules mean absolutely zilch. </p>

<p>The difference between something in the 30’s and a 36 is not enough to say much about your intelligence, just your test-taking abilities.</p>

<p>He is a ■■■■■. One minute he’s got a 36. One minute he got a 15. Then, One<em>Proud</em>Korean is no longer from Korea. He’s from Nova Scotia, a land of the future. They live an hour ahead of all of us.</p>

<p>If it helps, I have never been asked at any job interview, even my first one straight out of school, what my ACT was. It’s a good thing, because I have no idea what it was. It wasn’t perfect, and it wasn’t a bad score. It was just a test that I walked in (with no concept of how I’d be tested or what the make up of the test was) and took. I did fine. No prep. I then used it as a guide for what schools to look at. If you end up with a 25 and had wanted to go to Harvard, perhaps it should be an indicator to YOU that you probably wouldn’t be a good fit for the school. I don’t think it necessarily measures intellect to any degree. I do think it should be used as an indicator of your peer group. Look at schools where you fall in the middle 50% and you’ll both be challenged by your peers at times, and be able to help out your fellow students at times in study groups. That’s my best advice on how to use your ACT.</p>
