[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] On the subject of the SAT, it's just a test put out by a private organization. Many universities find it useful to have their prospective students take this test. The ACT is a similar thing, graded on a scale of 36. BTW, I just got my SAT results back. 800 verbal, 790 math. 1590. Fifteen-frikin'-ninty. I'm happy. :D Of course, the slight problem is that the school I want to go to is one of the ones that Jeff couldn't think of. They base entry on the ACT. Though my 34 from last year ought to be sufficient. As to exams, they aren't standardized, so far as I know. They're just a MAJOR test, that you take at the end of the year. Not every year, from what I understand of local schools, but your first through third years of high school. It's basically to see if you actually know the material. Tahna: [i]Why oppose it in the first place?[/i] Why would teachers' unions oppose testing? Perhaps they don't want it known that the vast majority of them CAN'T TEACH? Just a thought. [/QB][/QUOTE]
