Should I take the SAT or ACT or both? When should I take them?

I'm a rising freshman and I've already completed math classes up to Algebra 2. However, the reading and comprehension part is not my forte. I'm wondering if I should take the SAT/ACT in my freshman year or not, and if I should take both.

I want to go into dentistry, but I'm completely confused about the steps to become a dentist.

I’m a sophomore and rising junior in 2026–27, and my graduation year is 2028. By my senior year, I will have enough college credits to equal about two years of college. I’ve wanted to become a dentist for a while, but every time I research the steps, it feels complicated. Granted, I knew it would be hard, but I still feel confused. Right now, the steps I think I should take are: graduate from high school, go to college, major in biochemistry, join a dental program or do shadowing through my college if possible, graduate from college, and then go to dental school. I know that sounds choppy, which is why I’m trying to understand the process better. With the economy the way it is, I don’t want to struggle financially as a student. I also don’t really like science, but I think that may be because of my past teachers or my attitude toward school in general. Even so, I’m very good at science and have gotten all A’s for as long as I can remember, so I know I can handle the classes. One thing I’m really confused about is what other dentists’ paths looked like and how they reached their careers. I saw a comment about a college in Illinois that lets students become dental hygienists first and then continue on to become dentists. That route interests me, but I feel like there may be other options or similar opportunities too. I’ve especially been looking at HBCU colleges. Howard caught my attention because it also has a dental program. I want to have my plan set out clearly so I know what my next steps should be. If you haven’t noticed, I’m definitely a planner. Please help, and if you can share any tips, I would really appreciate it.

What is the best technique to balancing college academics with personal life?#Spring25?

Hello, I am currently a senior in high school looking to further my education at college to attain a bachelors degree in marine biology. I love hiking, doing crafts, and being active, so I know this is going to be hard to balance with college since college is going to be difficult, and take a lot of time, patience, and discipline to complete. So, learning any new techniques or advice that could help make this process slightly more manageable would be immensely helpful. I want to be able to balance my personal life with college, ensuring I am both successful and content with my personal life/mental health, and academics. #Spring25

What would be a good plan for someone wanting to become an acoustic/noise control engineer?

I was planning on getting two degrees: one in math and the second in physics. Then I want to get a masters and doctorate in acoustics from Penn State. I then started researching the Institue of Noise Control Engineering. Would it be a good idea to apply for membership to INCE after graduate school? Should I do it earlier? Should I wait? Should I do it at all? Then I want to complete all three INCE courses in noise control engineering. Is board certification worth it?

Mechanics, If you could have prepared yourself before going into auto-motive how would you have done it?

Would you have studied a certain subject? Maybe get your own project car to practice on your own time? Would it be better to just wing it and learn what I need as I go through it?

How do I study abroad or go to boarding school without funds?

I would like to do my studies away from home for a while. I don't know how to get scholarships or grants. I have always loved to explore since I didn't get to leave the house much when I was younger. I might qualify for financial aid but that still may make it a bit hard. I would like to have primary coverage or full cover. I want to explore architectural design as well as forensic scenes, criminology, criminal profiling, Cooking, and linguistics. I like freedom but that doesn't mean that I won't listen to rules. I have a GPA of 3.5 and going into my sophomore year of high school.
