modifications
Dave,
For IP if you feel it appropriate.
I guess this is funny, but at some level it's rather sad.
Would Shakespeare Get Into Swarthmore?
How several well-known writers (and the Unabomber) would fare on the
new SAT
by John Katzman, Andy Lutz, and Erik Olson
In the summer of 2002 the College Board announced its plans to change
the SAT. The new test will (surprise, surprise) contain several
higher-level algebra questions, will no longer contain analogies
questions, and will—as part of a whole new section on "writing"—include
an essay question. It is scheduled to be administered for the first time
in March of next year.
To illustrate how the essays on the "new" SAT will be scored, The
Princeton Review has composed some typical essay questions, provided
answers from several well-known authors, and applied the College Board's
grading criteria to their writing.
