The analogy goes thus: In paragraph 4 of "Safety of Numbers" by Lucy Tan, the narrator states: "“Like the Americans say,” she muses, “safety of numbers. That’s what colleges want to see.”
In paragraph 77, the narrator states: "Here’s the verbal analogy I’ve come up with: The SAT is to my future as my future is to Mom’s past.
The outcome of the first will inform how we feel about the second, even though these connections seem tenuous at best."
By the above, the narrator means that she is already comfortable with SAT.
