Will be when you start your job and people realize you can't do math.

But seriously, if you're joining a large investment bank, my guess is that no one will ever know. I've heard of HR requesting transcripts, checking references, etc., but never checking into the SAT scores.

Still, wouldn't recommend that strategy, because I imagine they can fire you on the spot if that is ever discovered.

 

son, did you miss your shiatsu massage this morning? SAT scores don't end in digits other than 0, should've gone for 790 like PJC.

your pal,

You "rounded up" from 650 to 795? You really aren't too good at math are you?

And yes, SAT scores come in units of 10, so you really should have gone with 790 or 800. Firms don't usually ask for substantiation on SAT scores, but if I saw 795, I'd definitely call you on your BS.

You're screwed....you might as well not show up...dumbass.

This made me laugh at how many people just took a cursory glance at the forum and were like...HEY!!! This guy rounded his SAT to an odd number, thats not possible?!!? What a dumbass! In fact, my friend, you are the dumbass for falling for such an obvious troll. YHBT

Reality hits you hard, bro...
