This review is from: None of the Above: Behind the Myth of Scholastic Aptitude (Hardcover)

Mr. Owen operates on the Educational Testing Service--and its lackeys, the College Board--like a surgeon with a mission. That mission is the truth: ETS is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The SAT--and aptitude testing in general--is a farce. This is an object lesson that holds true to this day. A must read for anyone considering taking the SAT. (Or anyone PAYING for someone else to take it. Heads up, parents.)
