There are so many things that go into being *smart* that it's up to the individual to decide what that is. I ask myself am I just a bunch of numbers or due I measure by other means?

Thank you for replying back to me, and again — just like everyone else, I wanted to apologize for replying late. Also, thank you for stating that. I feel that standardized tests just cost money, and don’t necessarily measure intelligence levels. I mean, I agree that if “most” people have made it this far since standardized tests have been out, they’re effective, just not effective for me or certain people/groups.
But I definitely get what you mean — and I mean, of course, there are other routes to getting into college, and of course, one test doesn’t necessarily define our intelligence just like you said haha.
Thank you.
