I believe my son had a 24 or 25 but was an A student with honors classes and

all college prep classes. This was about 5 years ago. Also lived in Ohio. All of my kids are really smart. My youngest is probably the smartest of them all. One test does not measure the intelligence of a child. I would take a person's grades matched with the classes they have taken over 4 years over one test any day.

recently. something that would be meaningful to someone applying now

In that case, I think it's like 30. Kids nowadays are nutty smart.

20 - 1996. She had a 4.0+ in high school and was from Virginia, so that helped.

wow. How do you get a 4.0 and not be able to better on the ACT?

Bad test-taker. I know a bunch of people like that. I'm the opposite, though.

I took both the SAT and ACT and did much better on the SAT than the ACT.

That's very insightful. Thanks!!
