I didn't study for the ACT and just used these videos like right before and I got a 31 lol thanks

Edit 8 years later: every year around ACT season I get responses on this super braggy comment from when I was such an obnoxious 17 year old. What I did not include in this comment was that I had done soo much SAT prep and it kinda transferred over. Was VERY trained to be good at test taking. These videos kinda helped me learn the slightly diff strat for the ACT but yeah I had gotten a LOT of testing practice. Idk. This vid def helped me but my point is don’t believe everyone’s bullshit on the internet. Study hard tho!! You can also get super good at test taking!! Do your best!! It’s important and SUPER worth it!! Just don’t feel dumb if YouTube videos don’t solve all your problems. You got this!!!

Thing is, I'm not smart at all. It was suggested that I participate in below average courses, but this aggravated me so I decided to move all the way up to advanced and honors classes. I've had plenty of success in school and have been on the honor roll for 7 straight quarters all from sheer, grueling hard work. Although I am proud of how hard I work and my grades, it doesn't change the fact that I am not smart. I think it's a damn shame colleges mostly look at test results rather than the number of restless nights I've spent working on homework that took my peers only a couple of hours. Now on the brink of insanity, my only wish is that my future is worth my hard work.

Another quick way to solve the marble question would be to take 1 - 1/3 - 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/4. Since 21 marbles make up 1/4 of the marbles, the total number of marbles is 21x4 = 84.
