I'm talking about the SAT. I got an SAT review book yesterday, and I've been reading through it since then, and it's pretty funny stuff. First of all, The Princeton Review, which is the test-cracking organization that wrote the book, treats taking the SAT as if you're entering a highly secretive, highly dangerous spy mission. Actual quote: "The SAT has remained highly vulnerable to our techniques. And the current version of the SAT is even more susceptible to our methods." THIS IS YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT.

Oh look, it's me taking the SAT.
But despite all of that, it's kind of an interesting book. Instead of teaching you any real concepts or information, it teaches you the techniques that the test creators use to mess you up, and promises that knowing the trick part of SAT trick questions will raise your score.
Gee, I wonder if that means that there might be something wrong with the test?
