NBA Basketball
NFL Football
RBC Bank

VIN Number

It's not your day anymore. SAT doesn't stand for anything. It is actually called the SAT Reasoning Test.

I'd also argue that NBA football and NBA basketball are acceptable since they denote the league.

He's mentioned a 15 year old friend that he's hoping to move closer to him in this thread here:

Converting a license

So unless he's extremely creepy and hanging out with kids much younger than he is I'd say it's a good bet that he's under 18. With his comments about cars which indicates he doesn't really understand cars or driving in general I'd say he's 16 or less.

uh, not quite bud...

even if it was sat reasoning test, it's still saying "scholastic aptitude test reasoning test"... it's redundant. if there's a "reasoning" thrown in there, it should be sart.

however, with the nfl football or nba basketball, that's completely different. it's a football granted by the national football league, or a basketball granted by the national basketball association. the league/association of the given sport authorizes use of this certain ball. it's not redundant at all.

i never called it an sat test, though. i just called it the sat.

by the way, nba only does basketball, not football.

Why would you bother taking it that much later in life?

Tired of flipping burgers?

Would you really need the SAT to take classes at some college? Some schools require it, but many exist that don't care and if you're older, they might just waive the requirement.

Either way, I wouldn't consider it cheating if you took it later in life and you were taking it to advance your education after years of letting it fall by the wayside.

Why does it have to be extremely creepy? Are you retarded? What exactly makes an older person being friend's with a younger person creepy? It's not like the end of Super Bad where he's like "I love you man" or any of that shit.

Anybody who uses math in any sort of academic way can ace the SAT math section.

Being nice to a family friend or kid in the neighborhood is one thing, trying to convince a teenager that he should move cross country so you can be close to him is another ballgame altogether. That's just creepy.

No need to take the SAT's - enroll in your local JuCo or CC and take the college pre-req's and transfer in to the 4yr University.


What most "older" people do when they go back to school.

You fail at grammar and poll, therefore taking the SAT later in life is not cheating falebag.

Although I am sure there is a job for you in the department of redundancy department.

Ok. Not all scenarios are actually factual. Sorry to bust your bubble, but I have no friend who is coming from Montana or whatever crap I said in that thread. Alright? I only made up the story because I didn't feel like explaining why I was bothering to ask the question in the first place. Not everything I say on this forum is truth! Please, don't bother to ask why I really asked the question in the first place because I'm not going to answer it.

Yeah I know, my writing has actually gotten worse, which I think I've posted a few times on this forum....sorry.

Of course now we could just assume you're trying cover up the creepiness :Q

I've never once had a job interview where they have asked for my GPA in high school or college, or asked for my SAT results.
