Have no fear! The ACT or SAT that you take in 7th grade is just a diagnostic test, meaning that your score isn’t going to go on your transcript or on your college applications. Your test scores will simply show Duke University where you stand in comparison to both high schoolers and your seventh grade peers. Although it may be intimidating to take a college entrance exam while in a room full of high schoolers, don’t feel stressed about getting a perfect score. Just try your best! You have nothing to lose.
