I remember no details about your life or your oversharing. And I still have the persistent impression, from having skimmed your posts for years, that you are a poster boy for the Dunning-Kruger effect and have zero self-awareness.
Yeah, and he still hasn’t done his ACT score as a meme.
What’s up with that?
Oh, well, if no one else will, here’s about 30 seconds of effort on my part.
Oh, shit! That’s brilliant!
I didn’t notice the ACT score sheet at first. It only hit me when I clicked and viewed the full size image.
I don’t mind taking as many as 60 seconds!
OMG Thank you for all of this.
My math score dragged down my composite score, too. Stupid math.
Looks like it’s bigger than we thought, folks:
Granted, the photo quality isn’t the best. I mean, it’s pretty grainy. But it seems pretty suspicious to me…
Very nice. I had considered spending a bit of time in putting the fingers into a new layer, but didn’t really feel like putting in much effort.
Kudos on your dedication to putting @SlackerInc’s ACT scores where they belong!
That’s what you do when you care about the results. Just shift the opacity of the ACT layer a bit so that you can see what you’re doing and then use the erase tool on the bits covering the fingers.
You’re thinking too small. Something like ACT scores deserves the big time.
That’s an awesome tip. I do all my own designs for advertising and promotion. I can think of several times when that would have saved me a significant amount of work. I will certainly have to remember that for the future.
Thank you @SlackerInc, for being such a dipshit that this thread was created and I got some pretty useful graphic arts advice.
Expertly done. Good job in particular with the tilt and the perspective.
While I can appreciate the pathetic, thirty-five-year-old-guy-wearing-his-high-school-letterman’s-jacket quality of the memes, istm that the actual composite score in the example is a bit high (being apparently considered high enough for ivy league admissions standards).
Oh, wait. This is intended to mock SlackerInc’s boast about his 30, right?
Never mind.
(Still, the America-hating fuckstick getting a 35? Makes you wonder who took the exams for him.)
I mean, the test is normalized to high school students, so… Maybe @SlackerInc is proud to be on par with a really bright high school not-quite-graduate?
I say it’s a refreshing change from all the posters bragging about their IQ! I mean what’s even more irrelevant to one’s fellow posters than an IQ score? If you guessed “an ACT score,” you probably got a 30 on your ACT.
They didn’t give me enough time! I could have figured all the problems given more time I think, but I ended up with several that I had to just put “C” rather than leave them blank (since they don’t penalize for guessing). 32 would be perfectly satisfying to most people, but yes: it’s annoying when you got a perfect 36 score on the other three sections.
This one appears to need a meme. But I’m not sure about the image.
Insufferable wanker.
That’s a new one on me. People can do better if they get more time? Wow, what insight! So unfair they just instituted these time limits on standardized tests.
On a serious note, I do wish these standardized admissions exams (even ignoring the problems of “meritocracy” and the questionable value such exams really add in estimating abilities) would move to eliminate the artificial time constraints. I mean, some things really are time critical, and 17 year-old me might have been swayed by arguments consisting of vague assertions like “the ability to complete like tasks quickly really is important,” but grown-ass adult me with experience actually doing jobs that require quick decision-making, and the sort of knowledge they draw on? Not so much. Certainly, I don’t think we should be screening for that sort of thing as part of college admissions. Certain careers (with very carefully tailored exams to match), sure. But not college.
I always scored lower in math on standardized tests because I ran out of time to complete the problems. In class, I aced math tests, but I was always the last one to finish. So I’m sympathetic to people who need more time to complete stuff correctly. Currently it is possible to request extra exam time due to a learning disability, but that requires extensive testing and diagnosis by a psychologist.
