<p>yup…so, they’re starting with our class after all…New MEAP with ACT, Writing, and “supplementary” tests…</p>
<p>How’re ya all feeling about this new change?</p>
<p>This is really sweet. One free ACT through this AND they give you a voucher for another free ACT. Plus, if you get above average, then the state of Michigan also gives you a $4000 scholarship. Our ACT is scheduled for March 13th and the rest of the exam is scheduled for March 14</p>
<p>ooh! i didn’t know they were giving us a voucher for a free ACT! So this ACT as MEAP actually will count as a normal ACT?</p>
<p>Yeah, we can submit scores from this one to colleges too.</p>
<p>The MEAP is dead. You just take the ACT</p>
<p>After you get the voucher, PM me if you want to trade it for another real ACT.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>PS: Be sure to scan it, though, into a PDF format</p>
<p>Yah, me too!</p>
<p>No way. $43 for a practice act test is not worth it at all.</p>
<p>I never knew we got a free voucher. I like the new ACT, but they added the MME too, that sucks :(</p>
<p>Can you guys explain this concept to me? I graduated in 06 so the MEAPs were voluntary and I got the 2500 dollars.</p>
<p>And MSUdad, it’s nice to see a fellow Spartan on the board (as long as it’s not Miami State or something).</p>

<p>Anyone else think that this test was hard? And are we eligible to get "early scores’ on this?</p>
<p>i think it was unnecessarily hard.</p>
<p>my school is doing it wierd…today was the ACT, and nobody but the juniors had school.
tomorrow is a half day for everybody but the juniors, and so in the morning we come in before everybody else and do 1/2 of the rest of the MME. we do the second half on thursday.</p>
<p>^ ours is kinda the same…except no one has school today and tommorow except for juniors…and we have a full day of testing tommorow…jeez…</p>
<p>yea that was super freakin annoying. plus i dont think i did well on the act at all. well at least i hoep i can get the scholarship. :)</p>
<p>the social studies was so random!! i hated it…a lot…and i died a little inside…</p>
<p>What a pathetic test. I have never taken an easier test in my life. Reading/Math and even Science/Social studies were a joke. It is not that hard to follow directions to put fries in the deep frier at mcdonalds.</p>
<p>lol a customer gives u a 20 for something that costs 7.50. How much change (you can EVEN use your calculator)!</p>
<p>My take:
ACT - annoying; started off day badly; didn’t eat before; didnt get much sleep; didnt prepare; unsurpsiingly, prob did worse than i did in december but did well enough to qualigfy for scholarship</p>
<p>WorkKeys: Reading - a Joke (the legal documents were a bit tricky but didnt take long to understand)
Math - also a joke (though there were one or two problems that had me stumped. one im so annoyed b/c i just didnt convert correctly (didnt look at chart))</p>
<p>MME: Math - much harder; way too drastic a shift of gears; i think i did ok tho
Science - didnt expect it to be testing actual facts but overall was not that bad (some stuff i had no clue tho)
SS - eezy shmeezy; even the stuff from courses i didnt take; and the essays were a joke (especailly after taking the AP for USH)’ wut is up with their obsession with “core democratic values”?</p>
<p>I think i got the scholarship…I hope</p>
<p>btw. did anyone here take the test at u of m dearborn?</p>
