ArtiRock 10/08/23 3:16:27 PM #3:	Act is just straight up better. A lot of skills from Sat are kinda worthless and don't translate well to people that aren't native English speakers. And I took it during the years that they had the essay, which was even worse because that's largely opinionated for why you think and essay is good or bad . Especially when a person's general interest in the subject asked of them could determine how well they write the subject. There's just a lot more flaws with the sat over the act. --- This is the duty of the Grim Angels. <cite>ArtiRock posted [p:976546722] in Do you con...

bigtiggie23 10/08/23 9:40:09 PM #15:	I remember being in line for a scholarship through the factory my parents worked at but the application required an SAT score. Problem was Illinois was predominantly an ACT state. You could find an ACT given somewhat almost any weekend during the school year. The closest SAT was like 4 hours away. --- Every day I wake up and promise I will be nice to everyone, then I deal with people at work and remember why that will never happen. <cite>bigtiggie23 posted [p:976553324] in Do you con...
