Here is one of my favorite Seinfeld exchanges between George and Jerry. For context, bear in mind that before 1970, the highest you could score on the SAT was 1600, and it was possible to get a score not divisible by 10, like 1409.
GEORGE: I'm sure I have a low IQ. I've been lying about my SAT scores for 15 years.
JERRY: What'd ya get?
GEORGE: What did I get or what do I say I got?
JERRY: What do you say?
GEORGE: I say fourteen o nine (1409).
JERRY: 1409. That's a good score.
GEORGE: Pssh! You're telling me.
JERRY: What did you really get?
GEORGE: You are my friend.
JERRY: Of course.
GEORGE: I tell you everything, right?
JERRY: I hope so.
GEORGE: Well, this I take to the grave.
Seinfeld fans know that George is one of the most insecure, neurotic characters ever portrayed on television. It takes that level of inadequacy to carry shame over your SAT scores into adulthood.
The rest of us let it go a long time ago. Your test scores seem to matter a lot right now. It might even feel like tests and preparations and "What'd you get?" are just about all anybody can talk about. Trust me, that's all going to change in the not-too-distant future. Once you leave high school, nobody (except the George Costanzas of the world) will care what you or anybody else scored on the SAT.
