Interesting nearly simul-post. Same here, I scored 1250 on the SAT, 31 on the ACT, and in the top 99th percentile on the CPT.
Literature/Comprehension has always been my weakness "Read the passage below, then select what you think best describes the point the author is trying to make" -- they all look like right answers.
Took 18 credit-hours per semester of courses on scholarship, right out of high school, failed all of them miserably, dropped out, goofed off for 5 years doing whatever would make money. Got a good job that pushed me back to school, once again got a scholarship, went for another year or two, was forced to quit due to personal circumstances. I have two years left on my BS in Computer Engineering, I may finish one day, but it's not very important to my current line of work.
