Re: College Entrance Exams
ACT is leading?
Western bias!

Re: College Entrance Exams
Isn't it supposed to be Eastern bias? This poll must be messed up.Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostACT is leading?
Western bias!
As for regional stuff, I grew up in Maryland and took the SAT. I went to college in Michigan and pretty much everyone here takes the ACT. It was always weird when people wanted to compare scores.Originally posted by West Texas Wolverine

Re: College Entrance Exams
Isn't that in-state school bias? When I was in HS we were all told that no matter what state you lived in you took the ACT for in-state schools and the SAT for out-of-state schools. Is that no longer true?Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostACT is leading?

Re: College Entrance Exams
I was always taught that ACT was Midwest/Middle of the country and SAT was East and West Coast
I took the ACT and only applied to schools within Minnesota. Students who wanted to go out east or west had to take the SAT. Or like a buddy of mine who just took it for fun.tUMD Hockey

Re: College Entrance Exams
Took the PSAT twice (10th & 11th grade); was quite close to a NMS.
Took the ACT & considered taking the SAT because I'm badâss at standardized tests.
Didn't end up taking it, but hey, I got into Tech.

Re: College Entrance Exams
So, here's the real question, what'd you get?Originally posted by Yager View Post
I only applied to MTU, Lawrence Tech, & Aquinas.
Lawrence Tech assumed I was going there until August, and threw some money at me.
Aquinas threw a crapton of money at me, and begged me to come (weekly phone calls, etc.) but I said no way in hell you crazy Catholics.

Re: College Entrance Exams
Have they done away with the NMSQT? It's hard to believe that threw away the chance to make more money.Originally posted by crazytechfan View PostComment

I also took the ASVAB, which basically all of the students had to take. Didn't do too shabby on that either.Loose and St Cloud go together. Like milk and cookies. Or bacon and porn. -Brenthoven

Re: College Entrance Exams
I took the ACT the first time after staying out late the night before. I spaced out and brought the wrong calculator (you can't use a ti-89...) and still got a 27 on the Math section without one. I ended up with a 31 overall. I took it again just to see if I could do any better with a calculator, sleep and a good breakfast. I got another 31... (math went up 4 points, english went down 4, everything else stayed the same)Originally posted by Yager View Post
I took the SAT too. I don't think I did very well though, so it never got sent anywhere.
Anyway, I applied to Tech and got in around late October/early November. I also applied to Minnesota (waitlisted because of HS GPA, got in around April/May) and I was accepted to Tech (my first choice) before I got around to applying to Duluth.Comment
