I was looking through my folder of old posts and I saw one from我一直在尋找通過我的文件夾中的舊帖子,我看到一從 ePrep eprep mentioning some Senate pressure last December for the ACT.一提的一些參議院的壓力,去年12月,為的行為。 I had a我有一個 very interesting discussion非常有趣的討論 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.關於國家稅務總局與一些中西部的讀者去年,我還以為我只想作出快速職位的紀錄,以解釋為何我當時沒想到會採取行動。
There are two reasons I didn’t take the有兩個原因,我並沒有採取 ACT法 , aside from its lack of trendiness here in the Northeast. ,除了其缺乏trendiness這裡在東北部。
- 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,我坐在了良好的分數在手的時間,我有機會以往任何時候都坐法。
- 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,雖然看在實踐中取得了書籍的行為像是一個更美好和更有趣的測試方法比403 ,它幾乎是不可能的,採取從我當時的總部在埃克塞特新罕布什爾州。 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.有一個或兩個變化,採取的行為在整個一年都意味著獲得了大約4點30分和駕駛的緬因州。 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況是回家鄉周圍的波士頓,但無法測試中心在東北部破壞我的願望,採取行動。
Now you know!現在,您知道!

1 1Well I took BOTH the SAT and the ACT, I didn’t find the SAT bothersome, but the ACT was definitely easier, also my score on the ACT looked a bit more impressive on paper than the SAT.以及我都坐在和行為,我沒有找到坐在困擾,但該法肯定是比較容易,也是我的評分法期待多一點令人印象深刻的紙張上,比國家稅務總局。 I wish I could remember the score though.我想我可以記得評分,雖然。 My advice if you can, take them both, coming from the Northeast also, I feel your pain about there being few test centers, but it is worth it.我的意見,如果你能,帶他們兩者,未來從東北此外,我覺得你的疼痛大約有幾封測試中心,但它是值得的。

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!我發現國家稅務總局要漂亮的心態numbingly枯燥,但一旦我學到如何讓自己到大學委員會空虛,我! It’s fun, sort of, when you just rush through it without checking, but that’s not very good for scores.它的樂趣,排序的,當您剛才急於通過它未經檢查,但沒有很好的成績。 Too late to take the ACT now, anyway.為時已晚,採取立即行動,無論如何。

4 4Mhm, and Goucher went SAT-optional since that article was published. mhm ,和古徹到星期六,可選自該文章發表。 I lauded some schools last year for trying to move beyond the noise that the numbers brought; I should make a new updated one. i讚揚,有些學校的最後一年,試圖超越的噪音,該號碼所帶來的;我要一個新的更新1 。 Have to remember to look at it from both sides, too—the schools can make out as well as the students, so their actions aren’t necessarily as noble as they might seem.必須記住,看它從雙方,在不久的學校,可以使出來,以及為學生,所以他們的行動,不一定是作為崇高的,因為他們可能似乎。
