Took the ACT today
 

Well as you all know in order to get into college you have to take the ACT or SAT. Anyways i took it today and had to wake up at 630 on a freaking saturday after a long night. The problem is it was twenty minutes away and we had to be there at eight so a couple of buddies and i went together and like a freaking idiot i choose to drive the stang, (Its been snowing all night and morning) over an awd magnum hemi and awd x-type, both with way more room and safety features. Anyways back to the trip, we get nearly there and there is just a film of light snow on the ground, but still enough to make going up the hill a challenge. We get there safely and take the FOUR hour test (I think i did good, hoping for at least a thirty to get in med school already have a 26) and as we walk out it is snowing its ass off. We get to the highway no trouble, now like the impatient, and hungry, teenager, i dont want to go ten under the 60 mph limit so i sort of give it some gas and try to switch lanes. The middle of the road is still covered in snow while where cars have tracked is just wet. As i switch lanes i start to lose it and the car swerves somewhat to the side and i correct it and then the other way, now its a pretty busy road and my rear end was almost in the other lane, but i straightened it out and slowed way the fu(k down. I am a pretty good driver and have never experienced anything like that which is why i am telling you this pointless story but afterwards i couldn't help but think that that could have been a fatal accident (we were on a wide bridge) and that my two best friends could have also died. It really helped me to realize that cars are not safe and to pay a little more attention when driving in crappy conditions.
Anyways thanks for your time i just felt that maybe others could learn a little from my mistake.

Also what are some of your guy's scores as i know there are some pretty intelligent guys ang gals on here!

ya that has motivated me to get a rearend too limited slip differential or somthing that might help...

why dont you go clean that thing anyways?? so I can takee some decent pics with the front bumper

downshift downshift downshift man, thats all you can do in the snow (in any car) because if you hit the brake you're just going to turn into a ****ing ice-skate.

But anyway, first time I scored a... 880 on my SATs, second time I scored a 990... and first time on the ACT's I scored a 19, second time 21. But I'm not an academic, I'm a fine arts student so... one side of the brain is more dominate then the other.. :poke:

1488 on sat
and 25 on act but forgot a calc lol

im taking the sat in october!!
im a freshman in highschool now!!!

Damn B-rett. I got a 1260 on the SAT, never took the ACT.

The last time I took the ACT was when I joined the Army and I had a 28.They said I could have any Job in the Army I wanted and shocked the hell out of them when I chose the Infantry :)

Never took the ACT but I go a 1320 on the SATs a few years back. I was going to take 3 SAT II's also but I got in a car accident on the way there. Thankfully that was way before the mustang. It was kinda funny though. I got rearended and pushed into my friend who was in front of me. My car got totalled and before I knew it the towtruck took my car and everyone just sorta left from the scene. I was left standing in the rain a few towns over from my house.
