Is an IQ of 126 good?

I took an IQ test online and got 126, it was like 25-30 questions long. I was just wondering how good that is that and what is the most reliable/ accurate free test out there that i can take?

Note: I've got a 20 on the ACT which is not all that great for me XD.

By definition the global average IQ is 100 and to be a Member of MENSA requires a score of 148. 148 or higher means you are in the highest 2% of the global population. A score of 126 suggests you should be capable of benefiting from a university educating but the bottom line is it's all about application and hard work.

For an accurate test I suggest you contact your local branch of MENSA and sit the entrance test. With an IQ of 126 you should be able to find it for yourself.

Remember that IQ only shows potential it's no substitute for hard work.

It's meaningless. Online IQ tests are not accurate - you can't take a real IQ test online. Real IQ tests can only be taken from a licensed psychologist (expect to pay $300 - $500 for it), take many hours to complete, don't ask the same kinds of questions as online IQ tests, and give out much lower scores on average. Online IQ tests give everyone high scores - they're trying to sell you something, after all.

It is really good! It also depends how old you are tho. If you are in grade 6 and lower,
you are a genius! If grade 7 to 12, you are pretty smart. If 19 to 25 years old, you have a normal IQ for a person of your age.
