[Ava]

:cry:

[varkam]

4. Hell, I got a 26 on my ACT

And I live in a van by the lake! It's really not so bad once you get used to it. Just got to watch out for the mosquitos...oh, and you have to be ready to defend yourself against people who try to take your stuff...but other than that it's fantastic!

:rofl:

You'll do fine :pals:

[Ava]

7. *cries hysterically*

lol, thanks :pals:

[varkam]

11. I think if you get a 28 or 29, you get your own private boxcar and hobo uniform.

If I'd only studied a little harder...

:rofl:

Just get some good sleep the night before, and don't psych yourself out.

[Ava]

12. eek

:rofl:

[Robeson]

6. Ava, I don't live in a van down by the river.....

...and I didn't score 30. Should I move down to the river?

[Ava]

8. consult matt foley about it

:P

[Robeson]

17. Hey, I'm just in shock that our little Ava is now taking the ACT....

...I remember when you were just a little knee high to a grass hopper....;-)

[Ava]

21. pfffttt

whatever :P

[Wapsie B]

13. Oh heck, you'll get a 36 easy.

[Ava]

20. not if i freak out

i'm just nervous about it

[Wapsie B]

27. You'll do fine.

Do something to relax before the test. I'd go for a walk to clear my head.

[DarkTirade]

14. Hmm... according to that chart on there, a 30 wouldn't be half bad.

I never took the ACT, just the SAT. But even with my crap grades my SAT score of 1330 was enough to get me into college. Not a great one, but then again at the time I really just didn't CARE enough to be competitive. :)

[Ava]

22. yeah, but you see i have to get a 30 or higher

or else i'll be living in a van down by the river :rofl:

[prolesunited]

15. You'll do fine

and if you don't, just retake it.

[Ava]

23. but i don't wanna

:rofl: :P ;)

[Redbear]

16. You will make that with ease

just be confident

[Ava]

24. thanks

i'll try

[NightWatcher]

18. you'll do fine, but if not........here ya go

[Ava]

25. HA!

:rofl:

[Tektonik]

19. Don't worry so much

the SAT I and II's are more important :P

don't forget those AP tests!

[Ava]

26. I'm not taking the SAT

just the ACT

[UrbScotty]

28. Hey, I got a 26

I was in the 86th percentile.

Good luck!

:hug:

[Connonym]

29. sorry, I've already got dibs on the van down by the river

you'll just have to do well on your ACT :-P

[varkam]

31. Get outta my van

:P

[Connonym]

32. If the van's a'rockin' don't come a'knockin'

[CreekDog]

30. I took it and I got a 26, my life moved on

I did get 32 or something on the history part.

I think the GRE is worse.

And my van has carpet on the walls, it's the total lovemobile. If it's a rockin don't come a knockin!

[NNadir]

33. Success at standardized tests is a standardized standard for being standardly brilliant.

A standard response is that we all hope that you meet the standard standards.

[CreekDog]

34. Lee Mercer got a 30

so if you don't...well
