SATisfactionYay, new SAT writing section!"The writing test will add great value to the SAT I," said Linda Clement, chair of the College Board Trustees, in a statement. "It sends a loud and clear message that strong writing is essential to success in college and beyond."Berkeley High sophomore Asher Cohen said the essay section is more useful to students than analogies."I think the essay's better because it's more practically applied in the real world," Cohen said. "You're going to have to write a lot of papers and memos and whatnot later in life."All good points, except that the essay is barely scored and not looked at by admissions folks. Most colleges have their own essays in their applications. posted by Beetle Aurora Drake 3/11/2005 07:29:00 AM # Comments (0) . . .
