| Red that’s really great you’ve worked your way up <3 |

| College for me was learning that the system sucks and is usually a waste of time with GEs and stupid degrees that don't get you a job. |
| Womplekins |
| My school required us to take the SAT and I think my sister's required them to take both the SAT and ACT. We ended up going to the same college (albeit different programs) but those scores barely mattered for admittance. It depends a lot on what you're hoping to do in terms of college, so do your best, but also remember that the ACT isn't the sole deciding factor in your future in the grand scheme of things. |

| Yeah, it depends a lot on the school and major as far as how big a deal it is. Some places are really demanding on test scores, some don't care at all, and there's a whole spectrum in between |

| college for me was all about learning that I will never again be that straight A honors kid I was in hs. And that's okay. in college you learn that really, you're just kind of average. Putting in the work matters a lot more than hs test scores or intelligence |

| I really don't know to pair with this WWE straw. Just paired him with a nice EEW mare that was strong in jumping since he was weak in that, got a PPP rated colt😩 |

| I can agree deadwood, I did terrible in my end of Hs exams. Went to uni for a degree with a low threshold and I’ve now worked my way up to a higher degree. There’s different pathways to get to what your aiming for :) school puts way too much pressure on kids to perform |
| Whitewolf |
| Either way just try to be prepared as much as possible. I mean the scholarship I got was 14,000$ that makes a difference. |
| Whitewolf |
| Red, sounds like some of my college classes. That’s wild though whatever score you make tells you what degree you’re able to go for |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| I got a better scholarship getting good grades in college than I did my ACT score. Don't do it unless you need it to get into the college you want to. |
| deadwood dressage |
| act and sat kinda do not really matter unless you're really aiming for a scholarship for it. I'm in grad school and...I am not positive either of those tests mattered in my school career one bit |
| Red Hill Hollow |
| 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 |
| Whitewolf |
| 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 |
| Whispering Wood Barn |
| 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? |
| Womplekins |
| 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. |
| Whitewolf |
| 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. |
| Womplekins |
| 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. |
