I got a 22 on my ACT

Apparently you need at least a 22 on your ACT across the board to get into the education program. I got 23-24 on the reading and writing portion but a 19 on the math part. Sales it is then

I remember what I got on the test overall but who the hell remembers the individual section scores ?

Fuck standardized testing

I don’t remember thats the thing. I just remember it being uneven. Like 23 on writing, 22 on math and 21 on reading. They do make exceptions apparently though

I mostly remember. Know math/science. Know the scores I got for the two ?reading/english? parts but don't remember which score went with what part

You should have taken them twice, you usually do better the 2nd time around.

I don't remember what I ate for lunch.. much less my ACT/SAT/GRE scores.

I rocked a 20 like a boss

One of my friends in HS, super studious and smart and talented, got a fucking 17 the first time.

It's true, standardized tests are shit. All they test is how good you are at taking tests, which I always had a talent for, being a born bullshitter.

I got a 36 on the science portion or whatever you got for getting every question right. Suck it dummies.

you're correct - and that's the funny thing about it. I don't remember what I got on the SAT or ACT - but I did just fine because I've always been a good test taker.

I do remember graduating from high school with a 2.7, though - because I was a total slacker who was more interested in beer and music than I was day-to-day school work. .

That's funny. I was right there with you. I would have never gotten in to MSU if I hadn't gone to LCC and aced all my classes there. I was also a legacy which used to mean something.

"we learned more from a 3 minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school"...

truer words have never been spoken..

yep... I hear ya. I'm sure the only reason I got admitted out of anywhere out of high school was because of standardized testing.. so it worked out for me, anyway.

looking back on it, I was pretty annoying (hard to imagine, I know) - I remember my middle school/high school teachers always liking me (I've always had a magnetic personality) but they were also easily frustrated with me because I just didn't care that much about school.

I straightened out some as I got older.. but not a lot.

I've always had a magnetic personality

If you do say so yourself?

I had a 2.1 GPA. Got into MSU strictly on ACT score. I recall my parents asking me why I didn’t have a better gpa. I think they thought I cheated. Maybe I got a few answers off of somebody but I don’t remember.

"how'd that kid of ours.. the same one who would screw up a one car funeral..  get into MSU"..

"I don't know.. reckon he cheated on the ACT"??

"I don't believe he's smart enough to cheat"...

   

I went all of fourth grade without missing a single word on our spelling tests. It was then that I knew I was bound for glory. MSU was the only school I wanted and I was not going to be denied.

this story is 100% true:

we were doing the school spelling bee in elementary school - each classroom would have a representative at the assembly in front of the whole school. I was one of two people standing.. trying to earn the coveted spot for the classroom.. and I intentionally misspelled the word because I didn't want to stand on stage in front of 200-300 people spelling words.

I swear I had forgotten all about that until I read your post.. it was probably 4th or 5th grade.

Better than me. I was in the pool to start spelling words and then walked out before I got to my first one. I don't think I was ever in front of a crowd like that before. Freaked me out.

We didn't do our first spelling bee until I think 7th grade. I was a pretty good speller but I wanted no part of it. When it was my turn I repeated the word (let's pretend it was book) and then went something like "Z X W P R Q". The teacher hated me for other incidents and she informed me that this was not allowed and I had to "try". So I said "Fine. Book. B-O-O-C-K. Book." She was thoroughly disgusted with me and told me to go sit down.

I had the same reaction when I was about 7 and learned I would have to play what I learned in piano lessons in front of everyone at a recital. Never went back for another lesson.

I spelled a word wrong on purpose when there were 2 of us left. Winner went to the "5th grade regional spelling bee" or whatever and I wanted no part of that. I spelled "vaporize" as "vaporice"

Oh and if we're bragging....

33. No Honors College though

love these stories about how we all threw the spelling bee.. aspiring to mediocrity.

maybe that should be the official slogan of tSwill - "Aspiring to Mediocrity"...

I got a 31, both my kids got 33 and my wife found her school crap awhile back and had gotten a 31 too.

I had a 2.7 HS GPA but 4 years in the USN with the test score got me into MSU and ended up with a 3.5 something. Guess all those teachers in K-12 were right when they said I wasn't working like I cared.

At my house it could be all A's and 1 B- or C+ and all you'd hear about was the bottom grade from my mother. Since you were going to catch hell if you weren't damned near perfect I checked out. Come home with an A, some B's maybe a C and batten down the hatches for a week or two until the storm passed.

What's the highest score?

I honestly do not remember what I scored, just that my math and science were much higher than whatever the other categories were/are.

Same with me. And, can't recall what my HS gpa was but pretty sure my State gpa (3.4) was higher.

You were magna cum laude at State? Congrats!

Had a really bad Fall term junior year. Looking back, I should have dropped a couple classes.
