btw... i'm going to be in ninth grade this fall and i'm planning on becoming an opthamalogist so i thought i'd start early. Also, which test prep companies are most reliable?

First of all, starting early is defined as taking the ACT during the sophomore year, not before the freshman year. If I were you, I would wait even more so you have at least one year of high-school education to be better prepared for the ACT. That's one step. The next is to STUDY!! Get good grades, honors, and knowledge. Next, if your school offers one, take an ACT preparation test. In Wisconsin, it is called the PLAN test for the ACT and the PSAT (P for practice) for the SAT. Also, if you take it early, I recommend selecting the extra time option so you can finish all the questions without excess pressure. And the last tip...relax. Too much stress when taking a test cuts down on your overall score (and that's been proven.) Good luck in high school. Start off getting good grades so you don't have to worry later.

I'd say take the test as many times as you can, because most colleges only look at the top score. Study regularly and buy a couple of ACT prep guides. You can get them at used bookstores for pretty cheap, seeing as how you'll need to be saving up for medical school 8^D. The best books and couses are by collegeboard, kaplan, and princeton review. And good thinking starting early.

9th grade and you have decided that any career is out of the question??? EXCEPT??? Your looking down the paper towel tube of life and see nothing else. I think you should look around at life a little more and see if there just might be other possibilities
