How do I get rid of this feeling? I feel very pressured and stressful. Because of this feeling that I will not get into any college and will not be able to get good act scores, I can’t focus on ACT.
What should I do? How do I control this feeling?( I have been diagnosed depression)
I think you wouldn’t have been so stressed if you didn’t lie to your friends, because now they expect so highly of you. You will be able to get into community college, so that is always an option.
There are about 4,000 colleges in the US alone. There are plenty of schools who will accept you, so don’t worry so much about your score. Your score is probably more than enough for some of your colleges. And it is definitely more than enough for many colleges that you haven’t even considered.
Are you an international student? Your writing lacks appropriate English markers.
Our community colleges are good and would be good for someone who needs to polish up his/her grammatical skills.
I feel that if you are having trouble handling stress in High School, you will have a more difficult time in a real university. I think a community college will set you on a path to success.
Be optimistic
If you want a 30+, go for it, work for it, and you’ll get it.
Also, you do know that a lot of students with low 20 ACTs get into colleges, right? If you are not aiming for Ivies for highly selective schools, I can tell you that there’s absolutely no need to stress out.
@kasdjfaskdfj For those who don’t know, he received a 19. He mentioned it in an earlier thread but edited it. He also sent me a message saying “Community college is for retarded people like Hispanic.” Clearly if you are getting a 19 and 1’s on multiple AP exams, as well as insulting those who are trying to help you and lying to your friends about your scores, you are not mature and/or fit to go to a four year college.
I had a young friend who had lots of state level awards but horrible test scores. She’s at University of AZ and thriving, and they looked at more than her 18 ACT to award her in state tuition. Another friend with low scores ended up at U New Mexico, and is really loving their engineering program (both are from east coast states). My advice is to stop fretting about being a bad test taker and concentrate on preparing yourself for the next level of your education. You will end up where you end up, and you will be fine! Read the Millionaire Next Door at the library and you will discover it’s not what under the lid that counts, but what you do with it.
