You guys who are trying to sound so badass by claiming to be drunk during the test crack me up. More than likely you are the dude who plays drunk, like every high school chick after one beer.

Evidently we are supposed to believe you all are slamming booze until roughly 7 in the morning, driving to the school hammered and getting by the test administrators while reeking of booze? LOL

I have been the same size since the 8th grade, 6'4", 260-280 and have never been a cheap drunk. I was slamming beer and whiskey until about 4 in the morning. You don't instantly sober up when you stop drinking, dumbass!!!

I was on the quiz bowl team and all those guys were making 32-35.


This checks out.

I was the Quiz Bowl team captain at my hs and got a 32 (35 in science). To my knowledge, we never had a 36 but I knew a couple people who got 35s. One is an astrophysicist for the FedGov, the other is a lawyer in Baton Rouge.

I took it several times trying to get one point higher on a composite score. It’s been 19 years so I don’t remember the exact scores. Once scored a 36 in science. Had around a 33-34 in math. English and reading were mid to high 20s. I think it was English I couldn’t get above a 26 in. Troy offered two scholarships based on GPA and ACT score. If you had a 27 you got free tuition. If you got 31 or above you got a full ride. I took it three times that summer but never could get above a 30.75 composite and they didn’t round up.

It seems ACT scores are higher today than back when I took it during the late 1980s. I rarely heard someone getting a 30. Now, all sorts of kids report getting 30+. Are they and their parents lying or has the test gotten easier?

25, 27, then 32.

Got the 32 during Voodoo 2007. Saw Rage that Friday, went take the test, then went back to Voodoo the rest of the weekend, loved Coheed. Was a fun weekend.

Most of the Ivy League law schools will accept GRE instead of LSAT these days.

Either a 29 or a 31. I remember seeing 29, but my LSU acceptance letter said 31.

Either way, I didn't take it past my sophomore year, and I walked out on the science section.

Fwiw I know for a fact I got the highest ACT score of my class at Live Oak, and that's when it was a 5 star school and it was only a 29/31.

Either the posters of the OT are a bunch academic outliers, or a whole bunch of people are lying.

27,25, 26.

Was seriously hungover the second time. Couldn't find the guys bathroom at Jesuit High during a break. So went into the girls bathroom and took a huge dump.

Averaged myself out the third time so decided that was enough

Did horrible in the math and science sections even though that's my current field.
