Comment SAT in the hat (Score 1) 405

So, like, I picked SAT because I'm good at standardized tests and I, like, got an NMSQT scholarship based on my high score. It only took me 8 tries on the PSAT and SAT to get my score to 1310 (or 1290, I forget which). The last time I took the SAT, my score actually went down a few points, so I figured I had reached the zenith of my test taking ability and should quit while I was ahead. In January, I took a job teaching at university and now I can torture students with tests I make up...Life is good.
