Bodling<p>The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). When I was in high school it was a big deal. You wanted into college, you had to take the test. The better your score, the better (supposedly) your acceptance rate at better schools, and the more scholarships you might get. Again, a big deal.</p><p>Induced a lot of stress for some students. I remember our cafeteria filled with most of our classmates all facing the same way and spaced apart from each other, with our fabled No. 2 pencils at the ready. And silence descending over us as the proctor intoned, "You may begin."</p><p>Some time later we all got our scores in the mail. And many went around the next day compared, congratulating, or commiserating.</p><p>But you know what? Not a single person has asked me for that score since I filled out my college application. As big a deal as it was at the time, you'd think it would come up in job interviews or something.</p><p><a href="https://deacon.social/tags/tests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tests</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/SAT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAT</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/BigDeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigDeal</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/LetDown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetDown</span></a></p>
