Why tf are people asking for my SAT scores ?
Like fr, I took this test once in 10th grade hungover af and got the median score I needed for my target university never took it again.
Every headhunter, PE firm and job application is now asking me for my scores like wtf this was 7 years ago
All be it my score wasn’t the best which is why I’m reluctant to give it but it shouldn’t be asked of in the first place, it is so out of date and does not translate into the person we are today. When is was a high school sophomore I was shithead who didn’t care about anything, now I’m an adult who works at a top tier BB in a great group.
I just feel there’s so much disconnect
Anyone care to chime in? I just find it ridiculous
Also worried about this. I never took my SAT/ACT because my college didn't require it. Should I be taking it or will headhunters be ok with this?
Couldn't you just lie and tell the headhunter the score they want to hear? IMO it shouldn't matter if you are capable of the job and have relevant experience.
You’re big chilling. Absolutely no need to take. Will only hurt you unless you get 1500+.
This guy really asking if he should take the SAT for PE recruitment. This is a new low 🤦♂️🤦♂️
agreed they should not matter
the guy that doesn’t work in finance?
Albeit, not “All be it” lol
Most intelligent SAT score hater
Bro got a low score what you expect?
you beat me to it
Literally a check box. If you have good score, say it. If you don’t, you went “test optional”
is a 1500 good enough?
Yes- effectively the cutoff
is a 1450 SAT acceptable?
f
Bruh what school can u even get into with that score lmao
It's around the 99th percentile of all test takers, there's no way people actually think like this, is there?
fwiw i recently started at an MF (ignore title) and while they did initially ask for my SAT score, it was never brought up at any point during the interview process or during the background check. i’m not condoning lying or cheating, but do with that information what you will.
