I was in the gifted program at a top school in NH. I moved down here and was told I wasn't gifted enough for the Live Oak. It was always funny during ACT and standardized testing results weeks when I blew the doors off the rest of the school.

Agreed.
This information should not come as a shock to anyone that knows anything about public schools.
Yes, (gasp!) even you, St. Tammany.

It wasn't until high school that my lack of proper study habits and laziness caught up with me. Couldn't coast anymore, started making C's, and my parents thought I'd made some bad influence friends and studying fell by the wayside. They didn't know how to fix it, and I didn't know what the problem was until much later.

This was my issue. I was a straight A student but never had to study. When I hit college, it really caught up with me.
am i like the only person who slacked and still made good grades through college?

which, by modern day standards, is slightly above average

besides, IQ tests for the most part are bullshite, there is no single test made that can accurately reflect a person's true intelligence

I got good exam grades, it was the stupid daily assignments. Tough to score well when you aren't there.

i said at a minimum, and no they aren't
i had to go through an entire psychological assessment with an IQ test being one part of it.
