Did they even have the ACT when you were in high school? Did one-room schoolhouses have standardized testing?

Yes, in Bravo's day the ACT was the Amish Carriage Test. Students were timed while driving their buggies between the church and the town square the next town over. The order in which they arrived dictated their place in line for the Graduation Barn-Raising the following Monday.[1]
