ACT scores for the first fully-vaxxed(!) batch of USSA high school inmates are available! And they are … not good.

The average ACT composite score for U.S. students was 19.5 out of 36. Last year, the average score was 19.8.

For grins and giggles and gags, I tried to extrapolate an IQ measure equal to a 19.5 ACT score. This was difficult as my conversion calculator uses the pre-1995 SAT as a proxy, and since 1995, the SAT has been, uh, messed with. But, after a few attempts, I came up with a college-ready(!!!) IQ of 95. That’s the college student average – the smart people. I thought that sounded bad enough, but I wanted to use that very-FOX “News”-viewer-ish score to assess the total college aged IQ. I gave the process one listless try and gave up. The great news is that if you enjoy an intelligent functioning society, then there are a number of them beyond the USSA’s virtually nonexistent borders.
