Reflect upon the ACT Reading test.. What do you think your strengths and weaknesses are? How can you approve?


I believe that i have alot of weaknesses when it comes to standard tests. I believe I have strengths. Just not as many as i need to have. I believe that I need to take these pre-test more serious. The ACT determines alot about your future. Alot of people as well as myself failed to realize that until this school year. I believe my strengths are actually staying up for the peroid of time required. Also getting through the passages. One of my weaknesses is that i dont grasp the information as quickly as i need to. I go back to the passage when i answer the questions. Instead of remebering the most information while reading. I believe I have alot of work to do. I am willing to work very hard to make sure i have a bright future. I believe that i can make my weaknesses strenghts. I just have to work on them.

Reflect upon the ACT English test.. What do you think your strengths and weaknesses are? How can you approve?


I believe that i am very nervous when it comes to the ACT. That is no excuse to how I perform on it though. English is my strongest subject in school. I have more confidence in the English and reading section more than any other part of the ACT. Some of my strengths are that i can comprehend whats being asked easily. I believe i am able to decide which word is best for that part of the sentence easily. Another strength is the time i take out to do the test. I never try to rush, unless time is running out. One of my weaknesses for this test is not staying focused. I believe i sometimes zone out. Maybe i'll think about something thats not important at that time. Sometimes i scan through the passages and go right to the questions without using my context clues. I believe that is a weakness. I believe i have alot of work to do to meet the standard i set myself to. I am willing to work very hard to meet and achieve above that standard.

The characters in the book the illad had very significant roles. In my opinion they all showed courage in one way or another. Some characters like Achilles, Partroclus, Diomedes, Odysseus, and Agamemnous were very important in this book. Achilles is the greatest warrior invloved in the trojan war. He was very strong and unstoppable. I believe he is very courageous because he sacrfices alot of his allies to his pride and he refused to fight because it was an inslut to his honor. Partroclus is achilles companion. They have been friends since childhood. Partroclus is compassionate as well as fierce. Partroclus is courageous because when achilles wont fight he attempts to save his other noble men from death. Agamemnon is a commander in chief. He is head of the achiean forces. He often feels the burden of responsibility. he is very stubborn and courageous because he never really said sorry to achilles. He insulted achilles honor. He was very loyal to his role as a leader in other words.
Alot of characters in this book are courageous because they are loyal and stubborn. They know what to do they are just to stubborn to do it. Some characters are courageous because they are not afraid to take chances with the decisions they have made. Alot of these characters are very strong. Some characters are courageous because they are willing to fight. The other characters are courageous for thinking about there decision not to fight. Some characters and old and stubborn. Other characters are young and loyal. Some characters try to win achilles over with the decisions they make with there forces. They also try many different ways to win his loyalty.
