    I pray for Americans, I live in Canada. We don’t have to do any standardized testing to get into ANY Canadian university, it’s solely based on your grades from your classes / your grade average. That’s also why we have the most people in the world with degrees. Because some people DO NOT test well but they can be smart. You should never base anyone’s intelligence off their test scores.

    Not the ACT, but I did the SAT twice and it was TORTURE! Both of those times sucked, I did okay, but they sucked. I get such bad test anxiety, especially during timed anything, so just yeah. Great video! I think you were really able to capture all of the emotions any high school student who takes these truly stupid tests feels afterward.
    P.S. Even my parents think they're the dumbest things ever and they are professors, which may say something about the system.

      those tests are definitely totally stupid, they’re more of a measure of whether you can take a test well or not, instead of the actual knowledge. not really fair to people who don’t do well under pressure etc.

    As someone who took the SAT in 2016 when i was a senior in hs and scored a 960 (which is an equivalent to an 18 on the ACT) i can tell u test scores really dont matter bc now im a senior studying computer science at University of Illinois Chicago and just landed a full time position as a software engineer so i can def say things do get better and you can really make the best of things in college if you do decide to go, just gotta trust the process.

    I took the ACT twice and the first time I was super nervous and kinda felt like I had failed and ended up with a composite of 25. I took it again and still felt nervous and ended up getting a 27 and even a 25 is a really good score. But, if you do take it again, chances are your score will go up more likely than it would tank.

    i usually never comment on videos but i FELT this!! i only took the ACT once, my senior year. i get terrible testing anxiety & i literally had someone drive me to school that morning so i could study on the way there. like you, i was also hungry (i didn’t eat anything beforehand) and had to use the bathroom the entire time. not only that, but i found the questions to be so easy yet felt like i had no time at all. just like you said, i would answer about half the questions then randomly fill in the rest. needless to say, i did just as bad as i thought would 😂 but i’m letting everyone know right now: don’t stress that 💩, it’s really not worth it! i ended up taking my college’s placement test and come to find out they only needed a math score from me. i start classes next week. wishing you the best of luck! i’m sure you did good and if not, it’s definitely not the end of the world lol.

    i've taken the act twice before and i've found that the second time was so much better than the first. i got a higher score (went from a 25 to a 29) and i felt a lot more prepared since i'd taken it before and knew what to expect, so that calmed me down a lot and definetly helped me improve my score.
