PERSPECTIVE:
Many of us remember when you just showed up and took the ACT and SAT. There were no books, no study guides or practice exams, no special software to quiz us. There were no study aids. In fact all that was deemed unethical. There was no "retaining" the exam if you didn't like your first score. There was a time when 1200 really meant something and a score of over 1000 meant you were a pretty bright kid.
Today, kids are awarded 100 points on the verbal just by writing their name correctly and associating each letter with the correct letter bubble on the opening sheet. Im ean get real, they are not taking their parent's SAT.
