If you haven't taken the SAT I suggest you do. I know time killed me on the ACT, especially the science section. I mean, in theory science is the easiest one, but I am a slow reader and I kept getting distracted by all the information that wasn't important because I thought it was interesting.

I know I didn't do well on the essay on either (I'm a slow writer too, I always had about a paragraph and a half left to write and the topics were just banal) but there's no science and all math/reading/writing questions are broken up into several small sections. I did the ACT equivalent of three points higher on my SAT.

Anyway, good luck on the future ones, and retroactive good luck on the one you just did.

I think the ACT would probably be best, but I can't really know that until I've tried the SAT, too

Maybe I'll take that if I do this badly three more times xD

[Ouch!]

Whether or not you take the ACT or SAT really depends on where you intend to go to school, I suppose. For example, I only really focused on the SAT because all the schools in which I was interested preferred the SAT. I took the ACT without the writing section in school because it's an Illinois state requirement for graduating high school.

Anyway, I hope you did well on the exam and any future ones you may or may not choose to take.

Southern schools usually will accept either, but northern ones don't seem to think the ACT is worth anything. Just check the admissions guidelines. I only took the SAT because I had to to apply for National Merit scholarships.

All of the schools I want accept the ACT, most of them want the writing section, too though. Like my #1 choice.


I HATE writing. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.


...and I am not capable of persuading people to do anything! Stupid essay.

*stab*

you might want to train your eyes to read faster also
half my incompletes came from not reading quick enough

[Jessweeee♪]

Oh, what do you know...my #1 choice doesn't require the written part! Neat.

ick...i definitely preferred the ACT over the SAT.

SAT takes like 5 hours to take and they like to throw in multiple sections of each topic, which I guess is less stressful, but come on, they didn't need that 10 min english portion ><

Well, I hope you did well and if not, eh you've got plenty of other opportunities to take it again
