Yeah, so I pretty much sucked ass bad way on the math part.. But hey, this was my first time taking the ACT, I had a bad cold that would later develop into bronchitis(?!), and I didn't take a math class this past year. And I'm not signed up to take one next year, so.. I better get myself some math review books or something to whip me into shape before I take the ACT again. I didn't take it with writing this time, because I didn't know what the difference was. I still don't know what the difference is, but I do know that essays always help me on tests, because in my humble opinion I'm rather good with the English and the writing. So even if it is a bit more expensive, I think having a writing portion will only help me. [Unless it's a 7-page persuasive essay on whether or not cell phones while driving should be banned. The person who wrote that test should be shot repeatedly and then have their skull pissed in. I had to make up a frigging story about my non-existent friend Jessica who was in a non-existent car accident because of a cell phone, just to fill some damn space. But I digress.] Anyway, I'm quite pleased with how this turned out for a first test. I definitely think my math needs some more polishing, though..
I take the SAT this Saturday. Eek!
