@Monevator: You’re very welcome. It’s interesting that you got a response from the entrepreneur in question; it must be a bit odd to write about someone in such an academic manner and then have them write to you like that. Here’s hoping he gives you an exclusive if he gets someone to accept his offer!

The SATs and GREs are standardized tests that you need to take and do well on in order in order to get into college (SATs) or graduate school (GREs). I don’t know of any UK counterparts, so I can’t make any easy comparisons. But yes, I like to think that doing so well means I’m jolly clever!

Thanks for including me in your roundup. The entrepreneur actually linked back to my blog, so he read the article, too. He declined to give an update though…

Well done on your exams. We don’t have SATs and GREs in the UK so I don’t really know what they are, but I’m sure it means you’re jolly clever!

Thanks, FS; I ended up with a 1360 on the GRE, which isn’t too shabby. I appreciate the encouragement!

Good luck on the exam Rog! If you got a 1,400+ on your SATs, you’re going to do mighty fine on your GREs no doubt!
