When Being the Best Isn't Good Enough

Full disclosure:

These article are long, but worth the read.

The first one is about what SAT scores actually measure.

The second one is about a valedictorian whose SAT score proved to be the gate keeper that kept him out of his desired schools.

Grab some coffee, cocoa, or maybe some tea, sit back and soak in what all of this means and who benefits from it.
