Ellen Barry reports in the Boston Globe that Broader, varied SAT advocated. It's the usual blather about a kinder, gentler test which will obfuscate the inability of the school system to teach students to read, write, and do arithmetic without a calculator. There are, however, sample questions! Since I love a quiz, here goes:
Q. What would you do if you had already eaten lunch when you realized you didn't have the cash to pay for it?Do I get into Harvard?
A. Pretend to go to the john and then run out the front door.
Q. What would you do if you walked into a party where you didn't know anyone?
A. Drink all the booze, proposition all the women, and then collapse behind the couch.
Q. How would you ask a professor you didn't know well to write you a recommendation?
A. Hey Gramps! You owe it to me!
Q. Write a story entitled ''The Octopus's Shoes.''
A. They don't need shoes. They have suckers, sucker!
