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.
