I just got done with 2 days of testing. One day ACT and the other the MME. ACT was over rated this year, i think i did well maybe in the 23-26 range. MME is a joke for those of you who aren't in high school in Michigan we have this joke of a test The Michigan Merit Exam, wtf this test had so much shiz in it i finished each test with time to sleep after, i bet even an 8 th grader could finish the two math sections.

Any who i had to do it for 4500 dollars was on the line but what ever. Im done and im happy. BTW has any one taken the ACT and if you want post your score.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but I took the practice PSAT's (yes, it was a practice for the PSAT's, which are a practice for the actual SAT's). However, it still contained the exact same content as the regular PSAT; it just doesn't count towards college. I got a 200.

Yes the ogt is very easy. Though I had to retake the citizenship part because I was able to answer every question with 2 sentences or less. The next time I took I just did the same thing but put a paragraph of bs behind it and passed with an "advanced" score. I lost a little of my faith in humanity that day.

in florida, we have the FCAT (Florida Comprehension Assessment Test) and while I find the Science, Math, Reading and Writing portions to be on a 3rd graders level, some high school juniors and seniors have to re-take it for failing it the previous year(s). (You take it as a sophomore)

on the ACT's this year, i scored an overall 26, which is damn fine! (30 on my writing!)

havent taken SAT yet, dont even know if i will.

sorry dont really know how to use the quote feature.

Im a sophmore this year and just ,last week, had to take the OGT's. Those were a peice of cake, i havent even taken american history yet and thought that section was easy. If you have to take this test in the future think of it as an test over the 7th grade year. you could have probably done the math when you were in 6th grade. My math teacher even told us that herself. Those tests have to be for students who barly know where they go to school let alone what they've learned there. zeig your right our schools take them as 10graders insted of senior year.

Pretty much every state has their same version of standardized graduation exam. Ours is pretty straightforward, called the GEE, (Graduation Exit Examination). They have two parts: Math and English then Science and Social Studies. We took the Math and English last year, and we take the Science and Social Studies test next week. I just gotta study up on my biology a bit and I should get enough points to be exempt from end-of-year exams!
