lmao... yeah science portion was the only one that I worked to within the 5 minute period on....

#12

you got thru the math? before 5 min was up? these results will be interesting..

#13

plus the science section was fucking pointless, you didnt have to know shit about science as long as you could read graphs n shit

I'm a math Whiz....I actually ENJOY math.........yeah true....I'm suprised at how easy of a concept the science section is but how hard it always seems to be.

I got a 28 (93rd percentile)....and thats mainly because I missed a lot of the math that we haven't covered yet...I did really well on everything but the science and math......99% percentile in the grammar and pre alegbra portions though.

I just gotta focus more on the science portion.....and ask my teacher for some study guides for the math we havent covered yet.....at this rate by the time I take it when it's required...statistically I'll get a 32....but who knows eh?

Yea, unfortunately they say between the 1st and 2nd times u take it there is a fair amount of improvement, but between the 2nd n 3rd, 3rd n 4th, etc, there is a lot less..

Dude, if you got a 28, there's no way that I'd take it again...If you know where you want to go to school, call the admissions dept. and start asking about scholarship req's...Every college/university has a place on campus that has a shitload of grant and scholarship information...You may already qualify for a ride, and can almost guarantee a spot if you start with the school early...

Yeah, math is so much easier! Wait till you get to the SAT. I got a 720 on the math in my SATs. If you did that well on the ACTs you are going to have an easy time with the SATs.

yeah but the SAT is only needed if you're going on either coast....and I'm thinking about Ohio State right now...its close® has a great football and basketball program...and is ranked highly for "best value" and stuff like that.....but damn they're out-of-state fee is more than DOUBLE the amount of in-state per semester.....

I still dont understand what the deal is about you wanting me to stop at 28 Ty.....I mean yeah I'll call and get info and tell them that right now I have a 28.....but why not push it to a 32 and get a full ride.

::shrugs:: I'm off school until thrusday so I try to think about school as little as possible.....

I'm not telling you not to get a 32...Hmm...That's just how I approach life...If I am a webmaster and build sites, I don't list the kinds of sites I know how to build and the kind a I don't...I just say "Webmaster"...Would I risk loosing a customer who wants an e-store beccause I've never built one..? Nope, I'd say yes and do what I had to do to get the business...They won't care if I got a degree, people want results...People want action...Everyone making high scores on them tests ain't a sure thing...They could be social wrecks, and I've been to a gifted school, I watched it happen to a few of my classmates...

Dude, those schools need you, they just got shit twisted like its the other way around...The time you waste taking the damn ACT again for a 5 point turn around that you are not guaranteed to get when you could be working on other aspects of your resume that shows you have vast potential to be an assest to the university is time time lost...That's just my opinion, but I got a full ride w/a 25...So suit yourself, I'm just trying to help you define a limitless prospect, rather than the opposite...

Man you gonna hafta get higher than 32 to get a full ride at OSU (I think :/). I got 29 ACT and 1910 SAT and that gets me about 50% ride at most colleges. I'm banking on swim (right on the verge of a lil D1 money) and other scholarships to get the rest, but don't count just on those scores...

There is an absolutely preposterous amount of scholarships out there. Gotta always be looking. I just did this 300 word essay/attatch a pic of "Why you support buying real Christmas trees, and what special story can you tell about it" or some shit. So I basically just BS'd this nice ass story of how we got this tree and took a pic with the fam in front of it and mailed it in. Grand prize is 10,000!! Other scholarships awarded as well, down to 5 G's. It's kinda sad...I mean, hey, it may be longshot to win, but even if I somehow get lucky and get $5000 for writing a 300 word essay, thats still a grand more than SupremeJays.com has made after a whole year of running & my time being invested into it.

The best part, is if you get MORE scholarships than you need...Some give it to the school but not all...Can you say "new laptop" (for school notes of course) and "new car toys" (since you are all on your own and will rely heavily on transportation). LOLOL CHeaaaaaa
