...have given false security to the students who have scored 200 on the College Board S.A.T.'s. Your article [Jan. 5] states the minimum score is 0, but you get 200 points for just signing your name to the answer sheet. The S.A.T. scale runs from 200 to 800. A hopeful note: a survey of the 550 Eastern colleges and universities participating with this Center reveals that these admissions directors look first at the applicant's course grade average, then at his class rank, finally at his College Board scores...

And to keep the money rolling in, IHI this month will start large-scale production of an improved version of the World War II Liberty ships.
