He is so proud of his combined SAT score of 920 that he put it on his automobile license tags

I know it's off topic, but when is 920 a high SAT score?

It's actually 820 (out of 1600). 100 points were "norm added" to all SAT scores starting in 1976 to help hide just how badly the NEA was doing.

Apparently, when one is educated in Philadelphia. Sad. My daughters was 1470. My 16 year old homeschooled son scored a 1200 on the first try.

It's not. Normally a person gets some 700 just for signing their name right.

My son had 1400 SAT and that would not get him into MIT. Close but not close enough.

It's not. I got a 1400 on my first (and only) attempt, as a high school sophomore.

When you're a ditch-digger or an administrator at a segregated, black educational institution.
