mind telling your ACT scores?

29 the first time, 24 the second go figure. I don't remember what my individual scores were. I do know that that Uncle Sam got ahold of my scores though; I never got a call from a recruiter before I took the test, but afterwards I got one monthly (or better) for almost two years.

Old Sammy apparantly thought I was too much of a nerd to send recruiters off to call me. (35 math if I remember right) Unfortunately the summer before my senior year I took Weight Training with the football team so I could get my P.E. credit out of the way and leave time open for other things during the school year. The class was just fine, I got in shape damn quick, but after that I got some calls, lemme tell ya.

The same thing happened to me when I made Eagle Scout. Most of them left me alone after the first call but one Navy recruiter kept calling me to see if I'd decided on a college/future plans for about 6 months.

29

After going to a big party the night before getting drunk off my ass, 2-3hours of sleep, arriving late hungover like mad, and took a nap in my car during the break.

Meant to try again under less extreme conditions but lost interest.

Why do people feel the need to qualify their scores with comments like, "I fell asleep during the test", "I had brain surgery the day before", or "There was a pit bull chowing on my leg at the time"? What you got is what you got. Everyone knows that not all "smart" people test well on the SATs/ACTs. There's no need to either be embarrassed or attempt to brag about your scores.

I didn't take the ACTs and I got a 1490 on the SATs. 2250 on the GREs.

I was carving some Peking Duck while taking my ACT - got a 34 too!

Just kidding.

Here in the Great White North we do not have ACTs or SATs although I have always wanted to take them.

I graduated HS in 88. I took the SAT.
590 verbal - 76th percentile
700 math - 94th percentile

I wonder sometimes why it took me 10 years to realize I would be better at programming than at business or law.

Of course I wish mine was higher, but I don't get people like CPA being upset about a 1250 score.
You know the national average is around 1000 right?

A 1250 puts you around 80-85 percentile.
