| Bird - yeah, there's definitely an inflation of the value of a degree these days. Trade schools are where the money is honestly. We always need the people who build infrastructure |

| I went to a small (500 or less student) private college that was highly focused and motivated on small classes and such, rather than large classes and 10,000 people were you just few like a small speck of dirt and I think that was good for me personally. I even had a few classes of under a dozen students. |

| Fang <3 ty :) my last year of HS was very rough, I was going to drop out. 3 degrees later I’m doing very well :) |

| I dont think university is a waste of time but I will agree that its harder to count on a degree to get a job, hence why I am getting a masters |

| Ps get degrees, 4s open doors. You don’t have to get the best grades once you’re in uni, do as well as you can and as long as you pass you’ll get to where you wanna be. I have a GPA of 4.65 ( terrible in Aus ) but I’m passing and set to graduate next year ;) |

| 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. |

| 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😩 |
| Red Hill Hollow |
| 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 |

| 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? |
