December 08, 2007, the last time I would ever get up at 7 AM to go take the ACT. For those of you that don’t know what the ACT is, it is a exam taken by high school students throughout the United States. The score often determines the amount of scholarship a college will give and whether they will even accept the student. A perfect score is a 36 and a 32 usually means a free ride into most colleges. Anyway this was my the final chance I had at the ACT and did I study? Absolutely not. Watched a cricket match the night before, went to sleep around 1 a.m, woke up at 6am and went to school to take on the ACT. A few minutes after getting there I realized I didn’t have a pencil, but it was pretty easy to borrow a few from people who brought like 25 (we aren’t writing the constitution here). Anyway the ACT itself went pretty well. The English grammar part had a few questions here and there that left me puzzled, reading was a fight for time, math was filled with way more questions on degrees n triangles then I could of imagined, and the science this time was much easier for me. Overall I think it went pretty smooth and I am hoping for a 29 or higher. I’ll be sure to post up the results soon as I get them.

Whether the ACT scores come out good or bad, one thing is for certain and that is the fact that I feel much more relieved. It was becoming a huge weight on my back and now its over with. With 1 more week left until midterm exams and Christmas break I feel life is getting better, and of course I should start getting time to finish up a few actual med-related articles I have sitting in my draft for the past few weeks.

P.S - Just in case your reading this ‘J’ I hope my guessing skills come out as good as yours…yea he did end up making a 29 out of 36 on the most hated science section of the ACT by reading half the question and taking a ‘educated’ guess.
