It may say more about the state of our system of education than about the test.

Why on Earth change a test that's been around for so long and worked so well. I'd like to know how much was spent for this NEW test.

It says worlds about our public schools ,,, my nephew scored well but had to take remedial courses in almost all subjects and flunked out of a mediocre state school... What no-one has mentioned is that YOU GET 200 points on both halves of the test just for putting your name on the paper ,, SERIOUS GRADE INFLATION (put in place around 1990 or so) ON THE SAT,, high schools are so dumbed down that any bright child is bored to tears and left totally unchallenged..
