Rating: B+ --
The Test And The Art Of Thinking might be a little too long, but it does an excellent job depicting the history, and ultimate pointlessness, of a frustrating, stress-inducing test.

Made me realize that the SAT is as useful to colleges as trigonometry has been to me.

Hollywood Reporter
It's a film that doggedly questions an exam that affects the futures of millions and feeds the fortunes of several big industries.

It's a brutal takedown of a practice now warping K-12 education and should embarrass every school that still requires them.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Each year more than 3 million high school students take the SAT or ACT, the college entrance exams required by most four-year colleges in the United States. For decades, however, there have been questions about exactly what these tests measure, what role they play in the admissions process and how predictive they are of academic success.
