An exam that is taken as part of a
college application and is typically unaligned to anything other than itself thus requiring one to take an
extensive costly prep course in order to learn its disparate content and style. Heavily used to convey birthright in the
United States since the early 1940s.
Ah yes, we'll devise an
entrance exam to measure whether someone can afford a test prep course, and thereby measure whether they can afford our tuition. This will enable us to screen out applicants that we would have to give a need-based
scholarship to while
pretending we're being meritocratic.
