Believe it or not, that is a racist remark. Congrats!

But i do agree with you, my generation is pretty retarded.

i'm asian and had a 70 average but i did reasonably well on the SAT's. i didn't go to tutoring though, i studied on my own

its not intending to be offensive racist its just a fact over here, its the same as saying theres a high population of latins in san diego. Call it racism, im not trying to offend anyone, but you cant try and look beyond what im saying because it is true, Asian cultures take education much more serious in my area.

I didn't do jack shit to prepare for the SAT and I got 2000. I did well on the PSAT though and got the National Merit Scholar crap. If you know you're retarded and you're gonna end up getting like 1500 or something why even spend the money taking the test lol.

I think SAT's are harder to excel at than GPA. All you need to do for a good GPA in high school is to do as you're told.

Asians don't give a shit about education. We just place such a high emphasis on it because it's probably the greatest determining factor in future income. Money is everything.

2k is pretty damn good for not studying... i scored somewhere around 1800 without studying or taking the PSAT.

if you place such a high emphasis on it wouldnt that mean you care about it?

I meant we don't care about the actual "learning/acquisition of knowledge" process of education.
