Perfect is overrated, not worth the effort

“Nobody’s perfect.” It’s a popular and common phrase, but it hasn’t stopped anyone from trying. Someone who takes the SAT twice with the goal of scoring a 2300 might be called a high achiever, but someone who takes the SAT over and over with the goal of scoring a 2400 is on an entirely different [...]
