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.

For all the truth out there about how important the SAT really is, there are also many myths about it, as well. Seven of them are below:
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.
If you want to do well on the ACT, you need to make sure that you're ready for it. There are some specific things that you can do to help improve your chances of scoring well.
First, you should read things carefully, and that includes the main instructions, the instructions for each test, and the instructions for each question – as well as the questions themselves.
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.
Not everyone is good with time management. People have trouble budgeting their time appropriately and they don't get things done like they should. This is often a problem with studying and completing work for students and also for those who work in the business world.
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.
A lot of people think that the SAT doesn't matter, but that's simply not true.
It's no secret that the college competition at some schools can be fierce. Some people who, one would think, would get right in have trouble because there are so many people applying for the same few spots, and they are all very qualified.
A lot of people want to take a practice SAT before they take the real one so that they can be more prepared. Whether that will work for you largely depends on who you are and whether you need the test preparation.
