Help us understand what it was supposed to be and what's happened. Well, I'll sort of answer in reverse if I could. The SAT now is taken now by about 2 million kids a year. There's a very kind of creepy national obsession built around it, including test prep, very expensive test prep. Now we have super test prep that lasts years and costs much more than the regular test prep.
High schools teach to the test academically.
There is social conflict around it. You know, there are initiatives and lawsuits. It's the passport into college. It would horrify the founders to see what's happening now. What they wanted to do was a bit of social engineering.
