Consular Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I don't even know what that number means. American exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestarzt Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Maybe there wasn't anything wrong with it in the first place? I'm using a (terrible) rental. Barely functional. I hate it. I don't even know what that number means. American exams. 2220 is very good. Especially for a first time taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegarth Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Can someone explain what SAT are and what is the grading scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamas Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Can someone explain what SAT are and what is the grading scale? SAT=Stupid-Ass Test. It's basically a gigantic test you have to take in High School, and your grade is one of the most important factors in determining if you can get into college and, if so, what kind of college you go to. Grading scale is out of 2400. Generally, it's agreed to be absolutely f*cking idiotic because its English sections fail to have any bearing on whether or not you'll be successful, the essay is based on questions you'll never need to answer in your professional career, it's easy to game by using a few strategies (Which helps to entrench cross-generational income inequality because this means that those that score highest are typically the ones whose parents can afford hundred-dollar tutors who know all the tricks to arbitrarily increase your percentage without teaching you anything you'll need in college or that's useful in life), and it has significant cultural biases that have been shown to be generally harder for minorities to answer the questions. But, luckily, it's supposed to stop sucking any minute now. Little Sealand and Darkesia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hariko Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 This reminds me of a George Carlin sketch... Where is it...Aha! *link* http://youtu.be/kJ4SSvVbhLw?t=1m14s Consular 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamas Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 That was... A lot of swearing. And not funny. And also innacurate, to some extent. Yes, the rich and large corporations in the US have a disproportionate amount of power, but they don't control our government, they don't pick our politicians, they don't own us. They influence our government, they influence which politicians we pick, and they influence what choices we make in our lives, but they don't have complete and total domination over it. If they did own us, then Dodd-Frank wouldn't have been able to pass, Obama wouldn't have been elected president, corporate tax rates would be 0%, taxes would be flat, etc. Instead of making up ridiculous conspiracy theories bout us being "Owned," a better idea would be trying voting.

Hariko Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The joke I wanted you guys to see was from 1:14 to 1:34. There isn't really a stop button for it so that was the best I could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Sealand Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Absolutely nothing, but since colleges think it's more important than your some 40 grand your handing over, it's important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
