March and April are considered the month of HELL because English teachers go on an ACT rampage. Most students scream in agony each and everyday because of this. They realize that the ACT will only be used when you apply for college. After that, people will never again ask about your scores, and you will have wasted your time and money.
Scholarships are the only beneficial aspect of taking the ACT; however, colleges require you to get an impossible score in order to get a decent scholarship, so it's not really worth it. The average score for Americans is around 22. If you were to submit this to a college, you'd get a very bad scholarship. The only way that a person can get a full ride scholarship is to get an astounding, 30 or above.
Testing dates are another agonizing trait of the ACT. I mean, who in their right mind desires to participate in a test when it's required of them to show up at 8:00 AM? This is way to early! We need an hour just to wake up, and no longer be sleepy. The ACT, however, doesn't give us no time to do this, so there's a bunch of onery teenagers who blame all their problems on the poor proctors. That's why it's not uncommon to see a bunch of scattered energy drinks upon the school's lawn.
Also, the ACT doesn't show how smart a person is. Instead, it either shows that they're a good test-taker or they're an extremely good guesser. Usually the ACT people try to trick the students by using related rules that don't apply to the question. See, most students understand all of the rules, and could write a decent paper that had very few errors; it's when they're tricked into putting the wrong answer that their inner knowledge fades away and becomes useless.
Finally, the ACT is the most wasteful test in the world, but it's required if we desire a college education and a well-paying job. That's why we must endure ACT HELL and not make such a fuss or else we'll have a miserable life.
