Hey, all you no. 2 pencil fans: sit up and take a gander at this article that was first published in a 1958 high school weekly reader – with the aid of the Educational Testing Service, (of Princeton, New Jersey). The article attempted to persuade America’s high school students to get used to standardized tests because they’re a really cool idea and they’ll make your life better. Illustrations are provided to indicate how the tests work and how well such testing had worked out beautifully for the Air Force in weeding out sub-standard candidates for flight training.
