I take it a 12 is like getting a 800 on your SAT's? I can't believe some of my friends scored under 1000. They have 3.6-3.8 GPA's, are enrolled in pre-cal or calculus, yet can't even outscore me (a 2.9 student) on the math section. Granted I think I scored in the 98th percentile, but still :)

My high school GPA was 1.25 or something :eek: but High School was fun!

Edit: I'm not a dumbass but I'm a avg student, just very lazy when it comes to school. I can hang out with my friends 24/7 though :)

Wow... just wow... 1.25 gpa with a 12 ACT average for a school? I think your high school should be redesignated as an elementary school... even middle schoolers would do better!

Ya, It might be shut down later on, Even though I doubt it will. I got a 19 on the ACTS, Maybe I should take the test again? I went to take the test with about 2hrs of sleep.

You should... 19 is very low, too. I seriously thought that the worst scores people got were in the low 20s.
