I have to take the ACT's Monday take pity on me since I have to study... A lot.
Ouch, did someone actually force you to take that thing? If not, then...its not really necessary. Its a hell of a lot simpler to just go to a community college for 2 years, and get the gen-ed stuff out of the way. Oh, and make sure they have a Guaranteed Admissions thing with your uni of choice. If they do, then once you're done there, you can transfer your credits over to your desired uni and boom. No ACT bullshit required, just keep a good GPA, which isn't all that hard in community college. It also helps that its a LOT cheaper in the long run, because that's two years you likely
don't have to take out student loans, substantially decreasing your debt.
Well, this is all assuming you're not going into something like law or medicine...those are a tad different from other career tracks. But, yes, do not discount the lowly community college. They're nice and cheap, my time at Pulaski Tech was wholly funded by a Pell Grant, with plenty left over, and since a lot of their students are older folks, their classes tend to be easier to handle with more reasonable requirements.
