[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, your kid has told his/her friends his SAT score?  And these kids have told your child to retake? This post cannot be real. If it is real, talk to the guidance counselor, not some 17 year olds.[/quote]

Nothing unreal or abnormal about kids sharing their SAT scores with each other and discussing admission strategies. My DC with similar score (1540/780E/760M) has done that and contemplating retaking SAT.[/quote]

Yes, there is something wrong with it. These kids are under too much pressure and sharing their high SAT scores is for one reason only--to humble brag and in most instances make others around them feel bad. Teach them to do better. None of my kids or their friends talk about grades or SAT scores. But, they're normal and not super nerds, so maybe that's why.[/quote]

This is a ridiculous post. No kid posts to make others around them feel bad. My kid has a 1560 and a friend posted the friend's score, also a 1560, the day scores were released. The friend is a nice kid who was proud of his score. His other friend also announced his 1570 score in class. I told DC not to announce the scores because I found the posting/announcement tacky, not bc I think the other kids had mean motives. DC has been asked MANY times about DC's scores and not by nerds. It's, for some reason, acceptable with current kids to share scores.[/quote]
