okay I'm a perfect student only had maybe two or three C's in my life but i don't think i need to study for the ACT my parents are making me but i don't think i should because i think it will be easy as hell, does anyone think i should study for this or does anyone have an opinion on it. (mostly looking for people who have taken the test before)

I scored a 31 on the ACT without studying.

I never took it. I studied my ass off for the LSAT, though.

But scale one to ten how hard was it ,and did you score a 31 your first time?

No harm in reviewing for it, even if you think it'll be a cakewalk. It's best to be on the safe side.

i agree with that i am probably going to go home and invite my friend over and have a study buddy thing going on and not try to be distracted by my new video game ff 13

I don't remember it was 26 years ago. My SAT scores were 800 math and 660 verbal. I don't remember much from that either. My GMAT was 700. That one was fairly easy and I did read through the ARCO book. On the ATC entrance test I scored a 91 and I also used the ARCO book for that.

I got a 30 my first try on the ACT.

I took the ACT after my Junior year in high school. The test seems to be designed to see what you know or have learned although some sections can be solved intuitively (science in particular).

It's always a good thing to study, but I'd focus more on math than any of the other sections if I were you.

Also, you are likely to move towards the average score the more you take the test, so try and do well the first time.

yea im planning on doing very good my first time so i plan on studying now but a lot of people (including my girl friend) says i should just take a swing at this one since i am just a junior and doing it my first time and if i do bad i can just do it senior year study and that time but they don't understand how its always better to do great on your first and you will possibly do better on the second

Is punctuation covered on the ACT?

Min · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2010, 01:18:01 PM »

Also...is the ACT free to take where you live? I feel like you "just take a swing" at the practice test and then do WELL on the one that you have to pay for.

But maybe that's just me. I grew up poor.

Yeah, you probably have to be there on time.

Masterkiva · « **Reply #12 on:** March 23, 2010, 01:21:07 PM »

No its not free and are you asking if punctuation wont count against you on the english part cause it will u need to have
1. Commas
2. Apostrophes
3. Semicolons
4. Colons
5. Parentheses and Dashes
6. Periods, Question Marks, and Exclamation Points
the pay for the act for me was like 50 dollars to take

Then I think you should study.

Alot.

I would advise against the 'just take a swing' idea. Detta brings up a good point as far as having to pay for the test, but there are other reasons.

Hopefully, you will be applying for colleges early your Senior year. The colleges will need your ACT score to consider you for any scholarships that might be available.

I suppose that's also a money issue though.

Always study. Especially when you think you don't need it.

What is it that makes you a Communist?

Vespertine · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2010, 11:46:48 AM »

How is it possible that you can suck this much at the very basics of the English language and still manage to pull good grades (with the exception of those three Cs)?

I weep for the future.

Perhaps he believes that anybody smarter than him should be up against the wall?
