[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] The SAT I, or the Scholastic Aptitude Test, is standardized for all students in the entire United States and territories, however as far as I know, it is not produced by the government, but rather by a private organization. The two subjects covered on the SAT I, math and english, are each graded on a scale of 800 points, making a total maximum grade of 1600. The PSAT is the Pre- or Preliminary SAT which many sophomore and juniors take as "practice" for the real thing. The SAT II's are subject specific, and at least three, (one math, one science, and the writing), are required to be accepted into many high-level colleges. New Yorks State, the state which I am unfortunate enough to reside in, is the only state that mandates standardized Regents Competency Tests for specific subjects. On the topic of teacher's unions, this is another thing New York State is lucky enough to be blessed with *rolls eyes*. Our local teacher's union is the strongest in lower New York, and our teachers are the best paid in all districts of the said region. That is not to say that I don't think they should be well paid. Teachers are as valuable to the well being of the world and it's future generations as any other person, and I think they should be paid much more for what they do. However, I also think they should be better trained and monitored. [/QB][/QUOTE]
