=ARE WE ALL SHEOPLE?=

Ok first off all you PETA people calm down about the picture because the cow can handle it.

We are all sheople! Cows more or less branded by a number. I am talking of the SAT. One of the most nerve racking test of a high schoolers career. A four hour exam to “predict” our success in college.

I am not a very good test taker, especially when its timed. I like time to think about things and review and make sure im right and evaluate other possibilities. Yet on this test its you know or you don't and you get sixty seconds to figure it out! I think the fact that i can't fill in bubbles within a time limit about whether or not this sentence has an error should not be a deciding factor in my major education.

This brings me to my next point. Why must i be tested on math and english to get into college where i am going to major in pre med. when does knowing how to structure a scentce have anything to do with being a doctor. Doctors suck at writing anyways; its equivalent to hieroglyphics half the time.

It just bugs me how something as narrow as a four hour test can label your intelligence and have such a deciding factor on your future.
