The ACT is similar to the SAT in scope and design. Both of them are very important for those who want to get into college.

It's something that a lot of people wonder about. What if they get a two-year degree at a community college and then move up to a four-year college? Whether you should do that depends largely on the colleges.

If you aren't sure which college you want to apply to, or if you aren't sure whether that college will accept you, it's time to send out more than one application. There's absolutely nothing wrong with applying to more than one college, and most high school counselors encourage it. However, you shouldn't apply to a hundred different places, either.

We've all had bad teachers, but some are much worse than others, and there are ways to handle them that work well and that will benefit you, instead of just making more trouble.

A lot of smart people have trouble getting into college because they don't do anything but study. They have very high grades, and they have top SAT scores and other things that make them look very desirable. However, they haven't done anything else, which makes the college question whether they have any other interests or whether they are capable of handling more than one thing at a time.
