Collegeboard doesn't know what "knowledge assessment" is.

I ABSOLUTELY ABHOR THE SATs.


They are one of the things wrong with America. THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE ANTI-CRUISE. The College board punishes me for overanalyzing passages (the way a good writer should) and for being aware that no, neither a,b,c,d, or e, are the most suitable choices. The College board is incompetent. And the horrible irony of it all is that my college prep school, which has taught me well, is preventing me from getting into college because my SAT scores aren't perfect. There is something wrong with the world when an education from a school that makes you "college ready" hinders your ability to get into colleges that focus so much on standardized tests. Screw you, society, for trying to standardize us all.

If my, or anyone's intelligence cannot be shown with 500 or so scantron bubbles, then I guess the scholars of the world are damned because apparently a grading machine knows best.


This rant is in part due to the horrid SAT prep I had to endure this morning and the March 13 test date that is looming over my head.

Ps. New York is fun. We had this formal event today which was pretty cool. Everyone looked pretty sharp. We're some pretty darn snazzy dressers.

Peace out girl scout,
ZMar
