...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.

...S.A.T., a doom to your plans to take such intangible qualities as creativity, motivation and curiosity and reduce them to the realm of the tangible by assigning a number score to them.

During his years with the Montreal orchestra he had to memorize practically an entire new program every week, often while en route between engagements. One of the solutions he worked out was to conduct staging rehearsals of an operatic score while studying an orchestral score that was placed on the floor next to him. This learn...
