Should you take the ACT? That is the question that most students I know are facing. If you know that you are going to “CLEP out of College”, do you need an ACT score? Or, if you are like my sisters, and you don’t think you’ll go to college do you need an ACT score?
My answer is… Yes. Go take the ACT if you can. 3 reasons why.
- There is an age limit. If you decide you need it one day, you can’t go back.
- Scholarships. For any distance student or traditional student, scholarships are good. For most of them you need an ACT score to apply.
- Good experience. The experience of taking a standardized test is one that every student should have. The format and requirements are virtually universal no matter what test you are taking. Knowing how to take a test is a GREAT skill and one most people ignore.
So, you are taking the ACT? Let’s work on preparing for it. 🙂
