END OF THE WORLD...

No this post will not be about the end of the world. However, it does come pretty close. For the high school community of America, Dooms day could also translate into three little letters: the ACT.
This is an over stressed, over studied, and over rated test high school kids take to try to impress colleges. When students study for something like this, sleep is lost, meals are not eaten (horrible thought), and they reach a further state of madness which is more commonly known as O.C.D. Now, I don't really have this, but I am surrounded by people who do. Let me just say that this can sometimes can be beneficial. Looking at it from the outside, I envy you people. Hail to thee you people who get your homework done! It saves you lots of pain. However. When it comes to studying for major life changing tests that are designed to fry your brain wide open over the period of four hours, I think that it is extremely over stressed. It is truly not that difficult; its just long, boring, long, time constrictive, and very long. Some questions can be written in alien scholar pig Latin, but you just look for the alien scholar pig Latin answer... and wuuupiee! correct.
Some hints on pre-test prep., unless you act well under stress, don't stress. easy as pie. The way to not do this is to make sure you know basic grammar rules, be able to read graphs, learn how to read quickly, understand that the space given to you next to your problems on the Math section is so you can work out the problem...., and finally defiantly do not have Dyslexia. If you, like me, do have this, I am sorry. It is something we have to live with our whole lives. Just read slowly, and pay attention to bold words. The rest of you, next time you read.... anything really, be thankful your eyes don't read two words, skip down a line, read the third word over, switch the letters of the fourth word, skip up to the first line, add a word or two that don't exist, and then make the last word turn upside down. BE THANKFUL.
(ps, I'm not an expert on test taking, or anything fancy like that, so for the most part, ignore most of that)
