SCORING
0–17: You are only marginally Tex-ucated, but you get a gold star anyway. Please don’t put it up your nose.
18–57: In the school desk of life, you can carve the phrase “I are smart.” Now, report to the principal’s office for a talk about defacing public property. And pull up those jeans.
58–87: Nice SAT (Stuff About Texas) score—and it didn’t even require an all-nighter! See, hardworking students can have their keg and drink it too.
88–100: Talk about “withstanding ev’ry test”! If you were any sharper, you’d give your own brain a paper cut. Congrats, and hooty-hoot to the family.
