I would sure hope so. As the parent of a high school senior the paranoia around these tests is ridiculous. The test, in and of itself, is not the issue. There are dozens of classes, workshops, tutors, seminars all available at a low (not really) price to help you guarantee admission to the school of your dreams. The amount of pressure associated with this is silly compared to my generation, a vast 25 years ago. Some of these kids are taking the tests 4 or more times!

Oh well, when I was their age we still had music, art and PE in school. Now get off my lawn!
