re: ACT scores are horse sh*t

No, but I was a huge dumbass in highschool. fricked around and graduated with a 2.8 GPA. Got a 31 on my act. There were people so much smarter than me that got below a 25 just because they weren't good test takers. The reason I posted about it is because my cousin has a 4.0 and is in the honors class at his highschool, but won't get many scholarships because he's got a 22 on his ACT. He's studied hard but just can't get it done. He needs a 27 to get the scholarships he needs to go to the college he wants. He's always been a bad test taker but is a lot smarter and driven than I was at his age. I just feel for him brah.

Great anecdotes. They still represent the exception. Not to mention, you seem to be basing "smartness" on your own subjective evaluation, which is surely less accurate than the ACT.
