science was pretty easy when I took it ; you didn't have to know any science , just have to read the graph/chart

each subject is out of 36 , then they average it for your final score

Answer 28

@rebeccaskell94 have u taken any standarized tests?

Answer 29

Haha not since 8th grade. I'm graduating next year. When I took it my scores were in the 9-11th grade levels but I'm scared of the PSAT and SAT. I think I'm going to try to take them this fall.

Answer 30

math just takes experience

Answer 31

if ur a math person u shuld take the ACT instead of the SAT. SAT is more vocab and reading. Im graduating this year and Ive only taken the ACT once. I wish i culd take the PSAT, but since im graduating from high school in 3 years, I lost the opportunity to take it.

Answer 32

I'm better in language arts/English etc. I suck at math haha I can't remember formulas.

Answer 33

out of curiosity , did you take any ACT prep course?

Answer 34

Me?

Answer 35

i took an act prep course. I got 2 book included. The Real ACT and Barrons

Answer 36

I think the higher you go in ranks the less they pay attention to your test scores. At some point your score will be no different than any other person applying. I got a 24 over all and I got some pretty good scholarships. It just depends on the school you apply to.

Answer 37

I wanna go to FSU. :D

Answer 46

university of michigan ann arbor wants female engineers. one of my friends got a 25 on her ACT applied just for the heck of it, and got accepted just because she put engineering down as her major. her gpa wasnt that great either

Answer 47

females have it too easy

Answer 48

loll :)

Answer 49

so are you thinking about studying engineering

Answer 50

I applied to a lot of private schools and a couple of public schools but I saw that private schools gave out more money. Then tend to cover most of my cost. There are a lot of good private engineering schools like cal tech and harvey mudd. I got into Bucknell which is a good private school for undergraduate engineering. My friend got accepted to Lehigh. I think the best engineering school that I got accepted to was UCSD.

Answer 51

Any tips for getting into MIT?

Answer 52

My prep books were The Real ACT. Helped lots

Answer 53

@Libniz im thinking of studying pharmacy.

Answer 54

undergraduate for pharmacy is actually pretty easy

Answer 55

in what way? academic wise or admission wise?

Answer 56

I thought you needed to go to grad school to be a pharmacist

Answer 57

academic wise; you would either be bio or chem major

Answer 58

yes. I will be a chem major according to my counselor. and @ romero yes pharmacy requires grad school. its just like any medical profession you do a science major, then grad school
