[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tangent comment. One thing I had to discover and convey to my child is that my SAT score from the late 1980s is on a different scale than now. My original SAT score is well below what my college has as its average SAT now.

Child thought that my SAT, which was really pretty good for the 1980s, was sort of mediocre. As a result, child kept suggesting I did not study hard, and so child need not study hard either. Child also used it as excuse to suggest that college was completely different then, so my opinions are meritless. Once I found a few webpages showing the conversion factor, child gained a little more respect for my score and my opinions.

Teens like to think we know nothing, but that’s not quite right. [/quote]

Its weird that you told your kid your SAT score. Are in competing with your child?

I don't even remember mine.[/quote]
Kid asked; I answered. I think they were trying to suss out whether I’d get into my college today. I dunno if it’s weird that I remember my score. My partner remembers theirs. So all I have to go on is a sample of two. [/quote]

It's not weird, both my spouse and I remember ours and our child asked as well, what are we going to do, say none of your business?[/quote]

What scores did you get?[/quote]
