Hello guys. So a few days ago I took the PSAT (Practice SAT) and I have been thinking about it. It came to my mind that the SAT and ACT are useless! You spend several years in school just to take one test and have the possibility to fail. I think that its just a lazy way for colleges to accept someone or not. Someone may have a bad day or they may not be thinking straight and there is NO reason why they should base one test to see if you get into a good college or not. They should be focusing on your grades from Junior High (Middle School) and from High School. IF they base it off of one test they are only giving the student one chance to get it unless they pay to take it again when colleges should just be looking at how the student has been doing over the past few years. If your going to make someone take one test that can either get them into college or not DON'T MAKE IT TIMED! The one test you need to do good on is timed! If you re-take the test because you didn't do good colleges still check your last SAT or ACT grades (although they wont really do much). I believe colleges should just take time to look at a student and really see how they have been doing over the past four years. I would rather judge a student by looking at what he has done over the past few years then one test he took that he could have had a hard time on.
