So what does it tell you about a person that makes a low ACT score; good GPA in school and passes professional exams that are way harder than the ACT. Dumb as nails I guess.






That you didn't know how to take a test in high school, and learned how later.


Or you do better on a more focused test of subjects you're interested and knowledgeable in than tests of a more generalised nature.

So the ACT is the only test that proves your intelligence?

Took it in the 7th grade with that program Duke sponsors and scored a 15.

Took it in the 10th and got a 27. Took a summer course designed to help with scores and got a 30 my junior year. Took it again early senior year and got another 30 so I figured that was as good as I was going get.

31 math
30 science
30 English
29 reading

I was on the quiz bowl team and most of those guys made 32+. One made a 35. I worked with a guy who made a 35 on the math but 15 on everything else. Dude could solve any math problem in his head in a few seconds.

This could be true. I did attend public school in EBRP.

If everyone is telling the truth, I feel like an idiot although my scores are higher than some here. At the time, I got TOPS and extra $ but not nearly Most of these scores. Only remember 2 people in my school getting over 30.

When you read all these wild claims, remember that the OT cannot grasp PEMDAS and a score of 34 puts you in the 99th percentile.

33 composite.

Well the the ACT is accepted by a few high IQ societies, for example. I'm not sure if any engineering tests are.

The ACT is a pretty damn good barometer of general intelligence.

2 people in my class of 435 scored over 30.


One was a co-valedictorian with a 32, and the other was ranked in the teens in the class with a 30.


I guess the test got easier since the late 90s
