| Here we have a massive end of year exam for each subject. Everything taught throughout the year is assessable. Each subject is worth a different amount of points. And you get a score between 1 and 99.99 which then tells you what degree you can do. My degree has an ATAR score of 85.75, so if I scored below that in HS I wouldn’t be accepted |

| Yuck. I took it once and said good enough. The fact it’s timed is definitely a little stressful but if you prepare well and are decent in your studies you should do wel |

| Is it best to price a WWW Maiden Embyro(s) based on training? Or to I just sorta make it low in general until proven? |

| That too; do your best and study for it, but remember you can still do great things even if you don't do great on this test. Not doing as well as you wanted on the ACT isn't the end of the world and it absolutely doesn't mean that you're incapable or that you're automatically not going to get into a good college or not get scholarships. |
| Thronesfell |
| Both the ACT and SAT (depending on what part of the US you're in/what colleges you're applying to) are both reasonably difficult, but the difficulty depends a lot on how well you tend to do with standardized testing. I usually recommend folks take their first attempt at it as early as possible if you can afford it, ideally at least a year before you're planning to apply to college so that you've gotten a lower-stakes chance to see what it's like and find what parts you might need to work on. Your score will usually be a fair bit higher on a second attempt. |

| What’s sad is you usually have to even pay for it after the first time to retake it. Yikes. I made a 27 and got a presidential scholarship out of it at least. |

| Definitely study as much as you can in advance, the sections being timed is usually the big stressor but if you focus on reading speed and comprehension that usually helps. A lot of it uses critical thinking. Make sure you know your math formulas off the top of your head. |

| Ohhh, very interesting. We don’t have anything like that in AUS. The way you guys do schooling scares me haha I don’t think I’d make it past high school in the US lol |

| It’s 1-36. And some college even require you make a certain score to go there. |
| Whitewolf |
| Just a general test over every subject that you take before college to see how college ready you are |
| Whitewolf |
| They still do ACT tests? Thats surprising. Well back in my day it was just a general testing over every subject. You do best in whatever you are or like best usually |

| I slept until 1:00 PM yesterday. It was rainy so my fibromyalgia flared. |
| Red Hill Hollow |
| Haha that will be me in the morning. If I don’t eat dinner, I’m starving when I wake up. I already hate mornings, my poor bf has to deal with me being tired grumpy and hangry haha |

| My cat and I laid in bed til 11. No regrets, that’s the latest I’ve laid in bed in years lol it’s also kind of peaceful |
