Does it mention that ETS has always had a whole load of tests aimed at general college applicants with essay questions and such (the "Achievement Tests")? It's always seemed to me that their recent dinking with the SAT just amounts to swapping parts of the English Achievement Test into it, though I could be mistaken without actually taking the revised test.
The article says that ETS is changing the test because if they don't California will stop requiring it for its state colleges. According to the article, California is concerned that too much time is spent currently teaching to the SAT. I'm not sure how using essay questions instead of analogies addresses that concern, but apparently both ETS and California think it does.
