What is a good act score?

The act is scored in a similar fashion to a bell curve. view http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Actgraph.jpg The national average is about 20, so a good score depends on what kind of a student you are. Scoring ranges from 1-36. However, less than two percent of students score from 30-36. The 90% percentile is typically around 27, so a score of 27 or higher would be excellent.

Is it possible to become a dentist obgyn or doctor if your grades in high school were average and SAT scores were low?

You will face some challenges. Unless you have something else to commend you in spite of those numbers, you won't be able to get into a very selective university, most likely. You can repeat the SAT to try to improve your score. If you can get into a decent school, even most state universities, and show some solid performance in a strong undergraduate science program, then you should have a reasonable chance with the med schools, although maybe not the more prestigious ones. You may even have to prove yourself in a lower tier junior college for a couple of years before transferring to another school to finish your BS. By the way, ObGyn's and dentists ARE doctors. The word we usually mean when we say "doctor" is "physician", which would include ObGyn as a specialty. [Spelvin adds] As the previous post notes, your record after high school and after the low SAT scores can override poor early performance. In addition, medical schools will look closely at your score on The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Medical colleges consider MCAT scores to be an important part of their admission process, and almost all U.S. medical schools require applicants to submit those scores. The MCAT is a standardized, multiple-choice examination designed to assess problem solving, critical thinking, writing skills, and knowledge of science concepts and principles necessary for the study of medicine. Scores are reported for verbal reasoning, physical sciences, writing sample, and biological sciences. From that list, you can see where your academic effort ought to be applied. Med schools will consider, too, community service; a personal essay that may be part of the application for admission; and your presentation-of-self in a pre-admission interview. If your undergraduate record and all of the other factors are favorable -- a very important "if" -- and if your MCAT scores are high, you can gain admission to a select med school, despite poor academic performance in high school.

Not at all. Both the SAT and ACT are standardized college entrance exams and either are accepted by collegeswith no preference. This is especially true after the SAT's latest revision.

There are a few key differences in the SAT and the ACT. Since the revision of the SAT, it is rumored that the SAT is slightly harder than the ACT (I've taken both and I believe this to be true). However, the SAT seems to be slightly more rewarding.

Also, the SAT's scoring system allows for the fact that it is difficult. You do not need to get every answer correct in order to score a perfect score on the SAT. It *is* important that you answer every question. On the SAT (and the ACT, for that matter) it is always better to at least make an educated guess as opposed to skipping a question.
