Review of Taking the SAT


Every college bound high schooler takes the big, bad SAT. Chris Waddy has a lot of accomplishments under his belt - but a disappointing SAT score. In this piece Chris Waddy weaves together his commentary with a variety of sounds, expert interviews, and live tape from his law firm internship to examine how scoring 850 on the SAT will affect his life. Other than a slightly overlong lesson in statistics, this piece is a tightly written and compelling look at an issue that is very important to a wide segement of listeners.
