any1 takin the ACT or are yall strickly SAT bound? lol

I'm suppose to be taking mines in June and I'm hoping that I make a good score. Its gonna be my first time. I should have started taking it in the 9th grade but I wanted to take Algebra II/Trig first. You guys?

I took the ACT and did pretty good but not good enough to me; a 23 . My goal is to get at least a 27 on my next test so I could get a scholarship to Hampton U. There isn't alot of Alg3 trig on the test so you shouldn't have to worry to much about it. Im taking Alg3 trig senior year and hope this would help me in math! Personally, I like the ACT better cus it tests you on work you do in school, the SAT really doesn't. I took it in 9th grade to try it out and i got like 1000 on it so i'll only take it again to get a higher score. :grin:

Wow! I didn't know that some people didn't like the ACT. I guess its different strokes for different folks! Juicy Sweets, to be honest the science part was sorta hard. I think it might have been like that because I was mad hungry. (I was in there for 5 hours w/ no food break :x!!!). Next time I guess I would study the book harder.

Well they dont even give the SAT down here. Everyone takes the ACT and it works for some and doesnt for others. Like I know a boy who is smart right, got all As but he only made like a 13 on his ACT and then its this girl who never really comes to school and doesnt make real good grades and she got like a 19 or 20. It works for some. Hopefully it will work for me! lol

It probaly all depends on what you been tested on your entire life. I been takin standerdized act-like test all my life and my first time I got a 23. I took a few months later and got a 20 lol. If I new I was goin to HU I would of actually studied and took it a few more times to get a scholarship but o well. The science part is pretty hard tho, mainly because it's the end of the test. You should bring like some m&m's or some kind of small candy, because that sugar helps you out a lot at the end and in the middle of the test.
