Arpie: Why Idaho Test Scores High

Arpie: Here's why Idaho usually scores high on the SAT and the ACT. Idaho has a lower percentage of kids going on to college than many states thus fewer kids taking these tests. And the kids that are taking the test are on average a higher quality than other states. I have not looked to see if that is the case here, but suspect it is. Does that make some sense?

Question: Can you remember taking your SAT or ACT tests? How did you do?
