ACT: 34 english, 22 math, 28 science. Composite: 28
GPA: 92.6 = 3.704
Convert! I think I could've still gotten into BYU.

I don't know if I'd've gotten into Georgia Tech anymore since I didn't take calculus, let alone AP Calculus.

I never tested well in math. I get math when I sit down and study it one-on-one with a professor/teacher, but when I'm timed to take it in a generalized format, that's not my thing. My GRE Math score was comparable---I think it was right below 50th percentile. But, I always find it odd that even doctored faculty members who rail against standardized testing in public schools and Mormons who vilify Common Core and its accompanying assessments will put stock into THEIR OWN standardized test scores as somehow valid because THEY did well in a system that privileges their abilities. My math scores show that I was bad at taking ACT math sections, and that some of yall were better at it than I was. I'm still wuap, bitches.

I was much the same, but with me it was my English score which came in in the low 20s. Everything else was quite a bit higher, fortunately. I always thought it was weird that my highest score was Reading Comprehension, but my lowest was English.

GOod point. I guess we can't take too much out of your english score, either?

I recently found a Georgia Criterion Reference Test report in a box at my mom's house from me from a test in the fall of 1987 that said I had a "limited command of written English." The next year I was in honors English, so, take what you will from my English score.

I've got kids in Spanish who can understand everything they read, but as soon as they try to write something, the wheels come off.

I thought you were quoting Rube Baker from Major League II with the Venezuelans line. If it was a Simpsons line, I missed it.

Nope, you got it. That's a hard language!
