GALESVILLE, Wis. – A Galesville high school junior, Morgan Auman, couldn’t believe her own eyes when when she opened the results of her ACT college entrance exam: A perfect 36. Nobody in memory at Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School can remember anybody with an ACT of 36 before. Auman pinched herself and asked a teacher to double-check. ‘Twas true. How’d she do it? She has a few thoughts:
> Prepare by identifying your academic weak spots and focus on them.
> Wake up early, do your hair and dress up: “Look good, feel good, do good. And you know, it kind of worked.”
> Keep cool, take a big breath.
Auman. Intent on nursing at UW-Madison.
