"Scarlett Johansson has already shown she has what it takes to stand the test of time in Hollywood. Other tests, though -- like the SATs -- have been more difficult for the Don Jon actress to ace. Speaking with Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky for the October issue of Interview magazine, the 28-year-old blonde bombshell revealed her self-described &amp;quot;pretty low&amp;quot; SAT score from high school.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I think the way it worked when I took them was that they were out of 1,600, so maybe you&amp;apos;d get a 1,240 if you were a smarty-pants,&amp;quot; she told the Harvard-educated Aronofsky. &amp;quot;I got a 1,080, which was pretty low. But that was probably because I didn&amp;apos;t answer half the math questions.&amp;quot;\r\nLater, when Aronofsky (Rachel Weisz&amp;apos;s ex-husband) confessed that his SAT score was 1,360, she replied, &amp;quot;You suck. Damn it...Now I feel like a big dummy with 1,080.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nTo be fair, Johansson was busy trying to launch her career at the time. The newly engaged star (her fiance is Frenchman Romain Dauriac) recalls being &amp;quot;a big song-and-dance type of kid -- you know, one of those kids with jazz hands.&amp;quot; (Her first role was in Rob Reiner&amp;apos;s North, which she says she filmed when she was 8; she later gained widespread attention in 1998&amp;apos;s The Horse Whisperer.)\r\n\r\nShe continued: &amp;quot;I liked to improvise and do weird vocal exercises. I was a major ham -- if you can believe it, Darren...And then puberty hit and I crawled into a dark, cold shell and never left. But I took acting classes. My brother did Little League, and I took acting and singing and tap and all that s--t. Then I got into auditioning.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nSuccess didn&amp;apos;t happen overnight, though. &amp;quot;There was someone in my older brother&amp;apos;s class who was doing some commercials and theater, so my mom took me to that kid&amp;apos;s agent because I loved musicals,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;They didn&amp;apos;t want me, though. I was devastated. I thought it was the end of my career.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nPart of the problem was her now-trademark low purr of a voice. &amp;quot;I was always terrible at commercials because my voice was so deep,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;At the age of 9, I sounded like a whiskey-drinking, chain-smoking fool. Wasn&amp;apos;t going to sell Jell-O with that voice, you know?&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
