wow. Short article. My school has a pretty long one... and a 22.3 average on the ACT. I'm above the average I guess. I got a 35.

wow lol guess im not that smart i just got a 22 on it but then again i didnt even study for it

invincible13matt · « **Reply #9 on:** May 29, 2007, 09:05:46 pm »

does anyone actually study for the ACT? Well, I took this lame prep course but I didn't learn anything from it... it just made me bored and made me hate ACT. Maybe that's why I didn't get a 36... oh well. I'll get where I want to go with 35.

ACT = American College Test
SAT = Scholastic Aptitude Test

These two are the two major tests used to get entry into an university in the United States. Almost every major American University accepts one of the two. Universities in coastal states tend to use the SAT, Universities in the interior tend to use the ACT.

The ACT tests on Science, Math, Reading comprehension, and English. You are scored 1 to 36 in each section, then given an average score. An average high schooler will get a 20 - 21. Invincible's 35, and even my 32 put us in the top 1% of test takers.

Don't know as much about the SAT (Wisconsin's a long way from either coast), but their scores go up to 1600 or 2400.

The SAT is graded on Math and English, each on a scale of 200-800 points each. So a maximum score is 1600. Higher is better. Or at least that's what I remember. I had to take the SAT in 7th grade.

I took the ACT when I was in the 8th grade. It was kind of "do it for fun and experience" type of thing. I scored a 14 or a 15, I don't remember. I should probably take it for real one of these days.

Why would anyone take the ACT "for fun"?

we get to take a prep ACT at my school. i bombed that because i just filled in random bubbles.

invincible13matt · « **Reply #17 on:** May 30, 2007, 04:00:20 pm »

I got the honor (sarcasm) of taking an entire prep course. Didn't help at all.
