Work on the reading - My English skills suck but Math/Science rock. Lots of money to be made with Math/Science and only a tiny small number of people make money with writing skills.
I do pay $ for editors to clean up my submissions for work product! So yes it cuts my profit and well worth it.

Have you taken the SAT/PSAT as well?

Memorize Glug, no it's not and write that for your essay next time.

Yeah, but the bad part is that my bad speedwriting skills may keep me from going to a good school :(
@309,717 (Ks !KansasxqvM)
11th grade, with one more year (that is, if I don't just get a GED and go straight to college)
@309,719 (Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU)
We don't do the SAT here.

Fuck you. Now I have Vernors all over my screen.

We could tell from his posts here that his ideas aren't very well connected, and it's obvious he doesn't give a shit about art or literature, but his other scores are impressive. He's clearly in in 80+ percentile. He's a smart guy.

You go to a public school, right? That's mainly to blame for your poor writing skills. I've heard many college professors say that they're disgusted with the English skills of most freshman. I was lucky, and my senior year I got an English teacher who was well aware of the problem, and spent the year bashing proper writing skills into our skulls. I worked with him one-on-one to improve my writing skills, and I might not have been accepted to the school of my choice if not for his help.
Tl;dr- get a writing tutor to help you with your skills and you'll be good all around. You'll have no problem getting into college.

That is mostly true, but I am fascinated with Old English and Old Norse epic poems.

> You go to a public school, right?
Yeah, but it's pretty damn good. It's not flawless at all and the administrations have done some stuff that have really pissed me off, but that doesn't mean it's shitty.
> That's mainly to blame for your poor writing skills.
You sure that it isn't also that I am just more into math/science things?
> Tl;dr- get a writing tutor to help you with your skills and you'll be good all around. You'll have no problem getting into college.
Alright. I suppose I could do well to get a tutor. Thank you.

I got a 21 composite score on my ACT, but I did do well on some of the sections, especially the English portion. I just suck at testing and failed to complete it; I think I was out of meds that morning too, which sucked.

I struggled to finish some of the harder parts. I was so spaced out that I got a 17 on Reading, even though I did the essay part very well. :|

I did everything well except for the literature/arts part and having to do a fucking speed essay. Which I almost didn't finish.
