So a few days ago I'm doing some filing...

28 both times. First time we take it during school and I thought we were just taking the regular stadardized test, but then they said "and now we're going to take the ACT." I about shit my pants.
So I got my score and thought if I got that unprepared, I can do much better prepared. Took prep classes, studied hard for weeks, made sure to have enough sleep and still ended getting a 28.... I was pissed.
I was proud of that and my college GPA, but then my fiancée will bring me back to reality with her 32 act, 3.92 gpa, and graduating magna cum laude. Yes, she's plenty smarter than me...

It was a 16 if you had above a 3.0 and an 18 if you were below a 3.0.
This was in 2003. Honestly my gen eds there were easier than my classes in high school. I pretty much aced most of my gen eds. Computer science classes on the other hand rocked my shit. Nothing like taking a Mainframe IBM assembler class (2 steps above writing in 1's and 0's)
They have made it harder since then
i was declared comp eng but took comp sci at uiuc, and mostly played quake. they wouldn't let me switch majors as a freshman and as a sophomore said my gpa was too low. despite the majors being a parallel move in the college of engineering. i had good comp sci grades, other stuff kinda meh. uiuc engineering is not something most people can lazily fuck around through.
so i went to NIU to do comp sci. uiuc was top ranked in the nation, niu made me take the entirety of their course though. while in their intro class i tutored people in junior classes. some stuff was complete shit, like their data structures. i also played a lot of counter-strike.
i think their comp sci program was getting better even as i was graduating (12/2001) - overall school was relatively easy there though. comp sci program was still ok. nothing like uiuc, but most people don't need to be ninjas like that anyway.

3-man rules!!!!
This. I got a 28 and all I did was show up to school one day and they were like it's ACT's today.... I was like ok, guess I'll take them then. Little did I know that I had buddies that were forced to go to prep classes and ended up taking the test 2 times because they didn't like their first score. I had to take a huge dump halfway through but you aren't allowed to leave (the whole cheating thing) so I think with clear bowles I could get at least a 30. Oh well, I'm just a dumb mechanic grease monkey anyway, right?
Damn. You suck Turk. I thought you were smarter than that?
Most people who bash standardized testing are the ones that do awful at it. Just like people who blame public schools for sucking are the ones who failed or did poorly.
LOL nice.
I was addicted to nyquil in high school. Did good on the ACTs even though i had taken a nice 50ml dose in the morning. fell asleep after every section while waiting for people to finish.
I was ranked somewhere in the top 10 of my class...out of 294 i believe. freshman year our class size was 36X...damn ghetto messicans kept having babies and dropping out. sucks!
Doesn't mean shit in the real world though right? I mean, its not like i'm going to do my job differently than my co-worker. It doesn't mean that I will be able to do my job more efficiently right? Or be able to lift more weight? or be able to run faster? Or be healthier? Or be funnier? Or be more sociable when need be? Or be able to be a jack-of-all trades? Or to be able to sack more chicks? Or live longer? Or be happier?
Nah.
Fuck intelligence. It means nothing.
hollaaaa reppin the WEST LEYDEN ****gaaaaaahhhhhs. Str8 up hood rats fo LIFE...mah peeps done set some kid on fire in a dumpster last year. FYI.
nope. i'm brown remember?
besides. i figured you'd be smarter than the average pharmD ;-)
i'm just busting your balls dude. way to rep public schools. i wasn't too far from you on my score.
you missed out dude.
this one time, we had some guy go crazy in the neighborhood, killed his wife and was runnin around lookin for his kid who was in school. we were locked in the class for like 4 hours.
it was pretty fun. i fell asleep. nyquil...it made that experience effin awesome.
Yes I did; it was a big stoner/sluts getting pregnant school back then. (I'm sure it's not much different now.) I actually did well until the early Spring of my senior year when my life got Geraldo-like-shit-fucked-flipped-upside-down.
