joining us from al burke, new mexico, dean of college guidance at al burke academy, a private independent high school in our washington studio policy analyst at the new america foundation education policy program, and from eugene oregon jim recallings director of admissions at the university of oregon, ann, what is the s.a.t. supposed to do and does it do it. >> so the sat is really meant to be an admissions tool, for students, and for colleges. it is supposed to say which students will be ready to succeed, in post secondary institutions. and i think today's test it always doesn't reflect what is taught in the classroom, it reflects other skills, and knowledge but not necessarily the curriculum that students are going to be experiencing in their high school classrooms or in their collegele chews. and so i think a lot of the changes that david coleman and the college board are introducing are intended to kind of right that balance, and maybe the s.a.t. more reflective of what students are actually experiencing in 16 and 17-year-olds and in their college classrooms to come. >> rafael, you h
