GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) — A Georgia college student is facing charges he stood in for New York high school students and took the SAT exam for them.

Six current or former Great Neck North High School students also were arrested on Tuesday.

Nassau County prosecutors say Sam Eshaghoff was paid between $1,500 and $2,500 for each exam.

Eshaghoff is a 19-year-old Great Neck North alumnus who now attends Emory University in Atlanta. He spent his freshman year at the University of Michigan.

The SATs have been so dumbed-down that it is entirely possible we might screw them up. Then there is the political aspect:
Question:
"How many board feet of # 1 timber can Logger Ed get from an ancient elder of Mother Gaia's pristine redwood forest if the tree he sacrifices for greed is 211 feet high?"
Answer:
"None. Logger Ed is in Federal custody awaiting trial after arrest by ATF Agent Tawanda Chameeka Gomez. The judge, Ching Efféd Yu, has granted Tawanda a continuance, while he and she undergo transgender surgery at the Barack Hussein Obama Memorial Hospital and Birthplace in Honolulu."

I would have gotten that one wrong.

He’s probably academically brilliant, but I would not hire him for anything. Ever.

I saw that, too ... that’s why it came to mind.

Pretty impressive.
