I was looking through my folder of old posts and I saw one from我一直在寻找通过我的文件夹中的旧帖子,我看到一从 ePrep eprep mentioning some Senate pressure last December for the ACT.一提的一些参议院的压力,去年12月,为的行为。 I had a我有一个 very interesting discussion非常有趣的讨论 about the SAT with some midwestern readers last year, and I thought I would just make a quick post for the record to explain why I never took the ACT.关于国家税务总局与一些中西部的读者去年,我还以为我只想作出快速职位的纪录,以解释为何我当时没想到会采取行动。
There are two reasons I didn’t take the有两个原因,我并没有采取 ACT法 , aside from its lack of trendiness here in the Northeast. ,除了其缺乏trendiness这里在东北部。
- Reason number one is that I had good SAT scores in hand by the time I had the opportunity to ever sit for the ACT.原因之一是多少,我坐在了良好的分数在手的时间,我有机会以往任何时候都坐法。
- Reason number two is that although looking at practice books made the ACT look like a better and more fun test than the SAT, it was almost impossible to take from my then-HQ in Exeter, NH.理由有多少二是,虽然看在实践中取得了书籍的行为像是一个更美好和更有趣的测试方法比403 ,它几乎是不可能的,采取从我当时的总部在埃克塞特新罕布什尔州。 There were one or two changes to take the ACT throughout the entire year–and both meant getting up around 4:30 and driving to Maine.有一个或两个变化,采取的行为在整个一年都意味着获得了大约4点30分和驾驶的缅因州。 I don’t know how bad the situation is back home around Boston, but the unavailability of testing centers in the Northeast scuttled my desire to take the ACT.我不知道有多糟糕的情况是回家乡周围的波士顿,但无法测试中心在东北部破坏我的愿望,采取行动。
Now you know!现在,您知道!

2 2I found the SAT to be pretty mind-numbingly boring, but once I learned how to give myself up to the college board emptiness I did well!我发现国家税务总局要漂亮的心态numbingly枯燥,但一旦我学到如何让自己到大学委员会空虚,我! It’s fun, sort of, when you just rush through it without checking, but that’s not very good for scores.它的乐趣,排序的,当您刚才急于通过它未经检查,但没有很好的成绩。 Too late to take the ACT now, anyway.为时已晚,采取立即行动,无论如何。
