    you know it really sucks to work really hard on something and it all goes away because you have anxiety...i can understand the concept and do good on the practice tests at home but of course in a different atmosphere it's not the same. Yes i know you can tell yourself "it's just a test" but i wish it was that easy when your life is on the line because of one test.

    • @kyokokirigiri166
      @kyokokirigiri166 2 роки тому

      @@cookieslayer2055 Hello! Thank you for the kind gesture and its ok sometimes things don’t work out but its important to know to forgive what happened and move on. If you are going to take the test again, just take it one step at a time. i’m going to be a senior in college now and ever since i saw tests as reviews, i didn’t feel that rush of nervousness before. there are other ways to represent yourself such as letter of recommedations, scholarships, clubs etc. even the way you deliver yourself can attract many opportunities. take some time to relax and think “how can i improve myself?”. just do what you can and have faith it will be ok. anyone can do it they have to believe and put the doubts to the side. it isnt easy at times but definitely achievable (:

    Taking my first(hopefully only) act test tomorrow after being out of school for 6 years. What's worse is during school I never thought I'd want to go to college so I didn't pay attention in math and didn't get a great GPA. Spent 3 weeks studying every concept from a book called act math guide but I'm not confident about the test since I had to relearn material and didn't really get to practice. I just need to hit a 23 and up and I'll be fine to go to the university I want. I see people not study or barely study and hit 28+, screw me right.
