John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Life Superscores

Life “Superscores.”

With the SAT and ACT, no matter how often you take the tests, colleges only get your “Superscore” (the highest score obtained in each of the individual sections).

I’ve thought about this a lot lately.

Who am I to disagree with professional test writers at the College Board? They are much smarter than I am.

And so….I have decided to apply this Superscore philosophy to every area of my life–both going forward and recalculating old scores.

Suddenly, my life is looking a whole lot better in most every category. Ha!

And to think, the problem was I was simply scoring it wrong.

I can’t wait to explain to my beloved wife, Rebecca, later today that if we take my “high score” in every category over the past 20 years, I’m in, like, the 97th percentile among husbands (not just “satisfactory”).

She is going to be so excited!!! Can’t wait to see the expression on her face!
