Not only that, but there are some people who are just having a good day and may guess correctly on the multiple choice test ... or maybe people who just test really well but suck everywhere else academically.

I know at least a couple of people who did average in high school, did a pretty awesome job at the ACT/SAT test and then went on to be an academic failure in college.
