I wish...
The American College Test is similar to the SAT; the main differences being that you are not penalized for wrong answers on the ACT, and the scoring system is a bit different (1600 is tops on the SAT, 36 on the ACT). Almost every midwestern college used to accept it for admission, though I don't know how it is now. The average score used to be around 20, and you could start winning scholarships with a 25 for the most part.
I got a 30, which got me $2000 a year in scholarship money from the state of Missouri...whoohoo! And I'm sure the state would be proud of what I've done since getting that money and graduating.
