When I took the SAT we had to write essays. Oh, and we weren't allowed to use calculators either.

When I took the SAT back in the mid-70's, I had to walk to the test site, uphill, in both directions, during a blizzard the third week of May.

LOL!!! That's why I didn't take it!

I got lucky...my biorhythms were cooking the day I took the ACT. Not that I maxed it, but I did well enough on it that I scored a 4 year ROTC scholarship out of it.

My neighbors did that too, except that they had to wear barbed wire shoes (just to show that they could afford barbed wire and the rest of us couldn't.)
