You know the ACT test and the SAT tests prove nothing. It's a bunch of information that I feel isn't even worth being tested on. I have never tested well in my life ever since 3rd grade I just never did well on tests. I would study my butt off but I would never get really good grades. My SATs I bombed...and it's not because I didn't try it was just how it happened. I put myself down when it happened and my friend told me it doesn't make me a bad person and it doesn't make me dumb either. I have a reading language based learning disability and I also have ADD. I thought for the longest amount of time that I would never amount to anything. I thought I was dumb and that for the rest of my life if I needed to understand something I would need help. I didn't think I would graduate high school or even go to college. And I did just that.
Give yourself more credit and don't let this test tell you who you are or what your future is going to look like. I know this has nothing to do with school but look at Michael Jordan. When he went to college in North Carolina he didn't make the basketball team and he use to practice like crazy. Now look at him, he's known as one of the greatest basketball players in history.
I know you might feel like the black sheep of your family but guess what you're different and thats something you should embrace. Do what makes you happy and find hobbies that make you happy. That test doesn't define you, you can create your own destiny. Good luck and keep your head up!

Girll! Making a 16 on your ACT isn't terrible. I made a 13 on mine, and I'm already in nursing school! Yes some colleges do look at your ACT scores, but some just go by your GPA.

Now this may make you feel better.
When I was in highschool, you were allowed to take the ACT as many times as you wanted, but the catch was, it cost money. If you aren't satisfied with your scores, talk to your school counsiler and ask her when there will be more dates to re take the ACT. While your waiting for that date to come along, just study. Practice the things that you didn't get so high on, and I'm sure you'll do better. ACT the first time is very itemmidating, your timed, and there is SO MUCH TO READ, and do, so you become overwhelmed. Just relax, and breathe. Your not suppose to be exactly like your siblings, you are your own person. Your parents are going to love you unconditionally. I promise.

TO BE 15 YEARS OLD AGAIN! Practice test is just that; practice. If you only knew how many people failed test in HIGH SCHOOL! This list is long and is growing every single day! Everyone doesn't test well and that's a proven fact. Find out the things you can do to prepare yourself for the real test and you will improve your score. To sit and worry will only make things worse. And.....college! Wow! Do you know how many people get into college when they have grades that are not straight A's. I'm one of them. I went to college and law school and guess what....I'm just fine. You have to do your best! If your not doing your best then you need to start. ITS FOR YOU NOT ANYONE ELSE. And the pretty thing is just that! Work with what you've got! Everyone isn't born naturally pretty but you have to LOVE what God gave you. Clothes, make up and all that is easy. BEAUTIFUL inside will last forever. And the best years are yet to come; and the only way you will find out is if you wake up to try it again tomorrow. Chin up! Your story isn't finished yet!
