I didn't take the SAT I took the ACT (and scored a 25 or 26 I think)


I only got a 23... I wasn't very smart back then.

Thats not too bad...I know one of the kids in my class who had a 3.4 GPA average only got a 19 on it.

Yeah, I knew someone who averaged like a 3.8 and got a 19.

The thing about the ACT is it doesn't test intellegence, or how much you know, so much as flexability of thinking, and how easy it  is for you to learn.


It's like an IQ test.  It correlates with intellegence but isn't an end all be all.

 

I mean, i can do analogies and "what does tis word mean" questions all day long.  All that means is i'm good at interpreting stuff.

I mean, that and the Science tests... it's more "how" you think, now how good you are at thinking.


Also, though it goes up to 36 (higher now I think?)  It's average is like just 19 or so.
