I would venture a guess that at least one of the four horsemen scored lower than a 1206 on their SATs.....that's gotta make them feel REALLY low....lower than when their man lost in 2004....

Entrance into the university level education is NOT limited to a single exam. The American College Test is accepted by many universities as is The Graduate Record Exam for post graduate studies.

Let the rutabaga take the Medical College Admissions Test and see how he would do, especially the science section. We'd have to tell him that natural selection would trump the faith based crappola of intelligent design.

And how will that happen? Natural selection has no explanation for origin (creation).

Let me rephrase, natural selection has no empirical (provable) explanation of orgin. Possibly a faith based theory based on the faith in natural selection, which is no more valid than any other faith based theory.

Is there a way of comparing SAT Tests scores to ACT scores? Example... 1200=25

IQ is meaningless if you don't know how to use your smarts in real life.
SATS do not mimick the real world.

Never mind I scored a 1745 and had to take two other people to college with me to make it even.

I learned more under fire in the real world that from books and lectures.

Bush has the bottom line down just fine - kill your enemy and don't listen to libs. I can think of no greater knowledge.

the bar exam is taken AFTER law school, so without that specific education few if any could. The MCAT is taken in one's junior year as an undergraduate.. Apples oranges

Now level one and level two national medical board exams would be equivalent to the bar. without specific education, few could pass those either.

to base someone's overall knowledge on one particular subject is ridiculous.

Some of the finest CEO's in the world couldnt explain what a protron or neutron is.. Does this show anything as to their overall intelligence? I think not.
As usual, you are reaching on this one..
