I got a 27 on the ACT, 36 is the highest possible ( took it once in 11th). It kinda actually came back to haunt me though, after being out of school for 3 years, I decided to go to college, and they had recorded my scores and their computer wouldn't let me take classes that were lower than the classes I qualified for through the ACT. So they had to spend an extra 30 minutes, because there is no way I remember stuff from 3 years ago. I ended up taking the college placement test and did horrible, scored a 29 on the math part of the ACT, and on the College placement test I scored so low, that it said I needed to take college prep classes. So I took the two, and started one class above the lowest, one class below the highest class I qualified for. It is actually working out pretty good. I have a very high 'A' in the class. Anyhow, don't be lazy like me, get college out of the way, so you don't end up taking more classes than you should.
