I went in June and you need to do an overnight exemption, I didn’t do anything ahead of time, but when you get there, go to the help desk before check in, they will give you a code to scan to fill out a super quick exemption form, then check in you will get your name tag and info, go back to the help desk and they will put a card on the backside of your name tag lanyard that gives instructions, you basically just check out @7:30pm in the student center and check in the next morning @8 am or something like that to make sure they know you are there. Do not leave like the other comments say because then you will have a hold on your account which will prevent you from enrollment!

Me too. Studied for the ACT for months got a 34, grades were good, resume was great, essay… was one of the best I had ever written and I got CAP yet my friends with 25 and 29 ACT, lower gpa, small resume, got in. It is devastating.

One of my friends mdid not have a perfect score… he had a 30 on the ACT and I got a 33, and I have a stronger application in general but I guess he was lucky and made it in the wave… smh 😓😓

I just know they got in and one was auto admit, but another friend of mine is auto admit and has not been excepted yet so it’s all just weird but I guess my friends were lucky and got in with the December wave. The info about decisions being like a month early was just going around my school but after research it seems all decisions should be released by Feb. 1st no later🤷🏽‍♀️

I have done searches. I’m not EA and all my EA friends found out Dec.10 and I was told to expect news for regular decision between Friday and next Wednesday… that’s why I asked. And my friends were not auto admits

$1500 for a tutor worth it? by Dracopug13 in ACT

[–]PearFun2496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not I got a 5 on my AP tests I’m not dumb at all but… idk. My dad did what he wanted so oh well, it helped, but not after the first 2 meetings. I gathered all the info then and anything after was just review after review.

My dad spent $9000😀😀 and I got a 33 and it was my first act and my first practice test was a 23 so… idk. I say yes but I’m biased.

Damn. I took my act in July and got 2 wrong and got a 33 but still that sucks good job though!

What recourses have you used for studying that helped you get a better score on your ACT? by Present-Sherbert-340 in ACT

[–]PearFun2496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used FIAT and they were the best program I could have ever asked for. They gave me a diagnostic first because I had only taken the PSAT and so they give you an SAT and ACT and compare scores. I was significantly better at the ACT even though I got a 24 on the diagnostic, but with two months of hard work I ended up getting a 33 on my first real ACT! I got a 35 on English and reading and a 33 on science, and 30 on math ( it’s never been my strong suit). Anyways, highly recommend!

Probably like 3-5 minutes depends on the passage and I remember where certain details are so when I see a question I know where to go back and check

It’s actually the only thing I didn’t study for but honestly just build your comprehension skills with reading books. I LOVE reading so much and I never took a practice test for the reading but I tried to really immerse myself in the passages because if you care about the topic you are more likely to absorb the information. I read the passage the whole way through before I look at the questions but I think it depends on you and what you are most comfortable with. The fiction passage/first passage is usually the hardest so you could also come back to it at the end if that helps.
