@Creekland should I really try it without more prep? What if I don’t do well? But thank you. I will definitely try that and see how it goes
I have started prepping for the SAT, but now I realize that I haven’t even done much looking into the ACT yet, and I really need to consider all of my options right now. I feel though that I don’t really have a good foundation yet.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t learn

Thank you. I hope you are right and that I really will do well. I just don’t see any need to place blame, or to spend the time that I could be using to focus on going from here, by just worrying about the past, which can’t be changed.

While I don’t fully know what I want to do yet, I know that don’t plan for med school, and I feel like community college could be a good first step while I’m figuring that out. As for delaying senior year to take college classes, that could be a good option, especially if not doing so could affect my chances at a good college. But will they let me take it as a senior year when I have already finished all 12 grades? And will retaking another senior year, even just to start community college, make me look bad when I start applying for future, non community colleges?

I guess you have a good point there as well, I just tend to try to categorize things, such as colleges, when trying to make such a big decision. Rather than that though, I just want to try to find the one that is right for me in every way. It just usually seems that such colleges are much too expensive/hard to get into.
I just want to find one that is the best for me

I did try Duolingo before, for almost a year, this was even before I was required to take them for school. (I like to try and learn new things sometimes) but the “hearts” system, and the fact that they seem to use the same random words even after you have it down made it more difficult for me to learn at my speed.
I can try to get back into it though

Thank you for all the tips! And I will give my scores to you once I take the official practice tests. I just hope I do well…
I was maybe considering (if possible) taking community college courses for at least fall of 2022, then moving past that by 2023/2024, which is where the community colleges come in. But some time after I turn 18 (April of this year) I will most likely be getting a job as well, to help me adjust a bit easier
