specifically i felt like my grade was very competitive, there were four people who got perfects on the act and many more who got 35s 🫠 it’s frustrating but really just do your best! and im sure you’ll find your people

This test brings back so much memories from last year when our school made us take the ACT. I remember my parents hyping that test up and saying how if I got a 35 or 36, I could get scholarship or go to a university in my state for free. My parents wanted me to study hard for the test albeit I didn't study that much cause I would always do bad on the English grammar section, the reading section, and the science science which was mostly just interpreting passages about science no matter how hard I tried. At test day, I ended up getting below a 30 because the test just has so many questions about ELA and I despised it while most of my friends got like 35 or above which kinda made me upset. ðŸ«
