I really don't know much about the acts but apparently it's different from the sats and from what i've been told it's easier.
Hope this helped:) [ illwill24's advice column | Ask illwill24 A Question ]

Colleges don't pay any attention to the SAT's anymore and unless you want to go to college for math you're not going to have any problems. You can easily get by and become a very successful person. Life has a lot more to it than math. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

It's like i explain to my girlfriend each time before she takes a test if you walk in there knowing you are gonna fail then you are sure to fail. If you want it bad enough, work hard, study, and walk in there being confident im sure your chances to succed will improve lots. I think anyone can succed if you work hard and want it bad enough. I hope i might have helped you out a little. [ EXTREMERACERX02's advice column | Ask EXTREMERACERX02 A Question ]
