<p>so kids, play it safe. ;)</p>
<p>What are you talking about?</p>
<p>That was cheesy; Stalin's probably rolling in his grade, and the KGB is most likely on their way to get you for that comment.</p>
<p>Why would Stalin roll in his grave, when it is obviously Yakov Smirnoff who should be suing for copyright infringement?</p>
<p>But then again, in SOVIET RUSSIA, lawsuits bring you!</p>

<p>That's a very simplistic and 1960's-esque overgeneralization. Besides, you could say that same thing about the American system. I doubt someone with a 400 in each section will see the day where the letters MD follow his name...</p>
<p>Not to mention that you obviously did not catch the reference to that crappy Russian comedian who I thankfully haven't had the misfortune to see for years.</p>
<p>If you don't get it, don't worry. Its just a joke.</p>
<p>Quote: In the USSR, a test like the SAT determined if you beecame a doctor or a factory worker. Even worse, it was a one shot deal.</p>
<p>humm...no, it wasn't like that. There were usually many different factors which ultimately determined one's fate - wheater he/she would become a doctor or a worker. For example, some people weren't allowed to obtain higher education just because of their parents....father had fought on the German side, former intellectual elite, really rich family etc. </p>
<p>Anyhow...in the Soviet Union the difference between a doctor and a worker wasn't that big. As the working class was the basis of the whole society/country, it was highly valued and praised all the time and in all kinds of ways. Their life was actually quite OK.(It's all really relative) E.g., Workers' monthly salary was sometimes much higher than the salary of a doctor,architect...and other people with college education.</p>
<p>No, but what the tests determined was much worse. The tests determined whether you would get into college; unlike the extra-curriculars of today, the ONLY thing that mattered was the exams. And you could only apply to one college. If you were rejected from this college, you would usually have to go to the army, where there was a good chance of death...</p>
<p>Hmm... about the SAT influencing your career, my dad got like a 1050 and became a doctor, and my mom got somewhere like an 1100 and got a doctorate in biochemistry, so really, it doesn't mean anything.</p>
<p>only in ammmmmmerica.........<em>with music</em></p>
<p>GUYS IT IS A JOKE.</p>
<p>nvm, it's a joke in the online programming community</p>
<p>IN SOVIET RUSSIA object verb you!</p>
<p>In AMERICA, you verb object!</p>
<p>there are a lot of languages where the verb comes before the subject. Not just in Soviet Russia. ky that's very interesing, props to your parents. I got a 1050 in middle school and my dad was sorta disappointed because he was shooting for 1200. but i just wasn't interested back then. both of my parents are doctors and they didn't have SATs where they came from, but a much harder test that tested you in everything, even the arabic language and how much of the Quran you knew. They got in the top 10 in the nation, mom was 8, dad was 7. but it's true, you can go to community college and still become a doctor or anything big.</p>
<p>we get it, just that its more fun to talk about countries that use exams to determine ones fate. /heh</p>
