I can offer no excuse as to why you would want to ignore the importance of the ACT’s. The test has long term implications, and will be a measure of your academic potential for years to come; colleges, universities, and increasingly occupational recruiters will use this exam to determine your fit for their openings. With that focus being laid on thick however, I’d like to emphasize that there is no need to overstress the test.
A low score won’t flatter you or anyone else that sees it, but that’s why the people behind the ACT (and SAT) offer a retake – because nobody can guarantee that the exam will take place without a hitch, and you could be testing without proper sleep, nutrition, mental preparation, or any one of a million dilemmas. Always do your best with the situation that you’re presented with, and take each test as if it was the only time you’ll take it… but when/if the outcome is undesirable, or just not up to your standards, know that there is still another shot at getting a better score.
