After three years working as a test scorer, Dan DiMaggio says he's become a skimming machine. "It's ugly," he says. "You just go as fast as possible."

"The legitimacy of testing is being taken for granted," he says. "It's a farce."

The following article is well researched and written and describes a day in the life of a test scorer. Its a MUST read for parents of children who take these these tests. I will not give any more commentary-the article speaks for itself.
