<p>Look, I’m not saying not to work hard. I’m just saying that it’s ridiculous to think that a 690 is not a good score on a ridiculous test that most people agree doesn’t actually predict college preparedness anyway. You can take the same test twice on different days and get a point difference of 60 points, easily, in either direction, just because there were different questions. And yet we are so obsessed with getting as close to 800 as possible. Is 690 a bad score? Is 740? REALLY?</p>
