ACT test

[stopandthink]

I take the ACT test on the 27th of this month.

And I'm sure it's not as difficult as I think it is, but i could be wrong.

I'm really stressing about it because I plan on applying for FAFSA, and of course a higher score means a better chance of getting financial help.

 

Any advice? any at all..

Bring extra batteries or an extra calculator.

Speaking of calculators, do you know if the TI-84 is allowed?

Yes. Here's their calculator information page:

As far as I know the FAFSA is need-based rather than merit-based, so it doesn't require ACT scores -- but it's been four years since I've gone through this process, so don't take my word for it.

Also try to quit stressing about it and consider this a trial. Plan on taking it several times. You'll likely get a better score if you try several times.

I still need a good score to get into a decent college tho.
