ACT

Today I am going to talk about how I think that one’s ACT score should not determine how well they will or will not do in college. This is so stupid why should ones score of a test, have such a big influence on where they can go. I say this because without a decent ACT score you do not have very good selection on where you can attend college at the university level. Say, if someone is a horrible test taker and gets good grades throughout high school but can get into the college of his or her dreams because he or she got, say a 17 on the ACT. How is this fair at all? They have worked their butts off for the past 3 years to get those grades and all their dreams are shot down basically because they didn’t do well on that one test. I remember when I took the ACT some of the stuff that was on the thing, I had not even learned yet. This really bothered me because if I would of learned it I would have got a better score, which potentially have got me into a better school. So couldn’t it be the high schools fault for not keeping up with the material that may have potential to be on the ACT? I just think that it is really dumb how much colleges look at one’s ACT score, it should be a number of things that play into ones admission to the college. To sum it all up, I think there should be a better way of getting into the college of your dreams.
