Many More Students, Especially the Wealthy, Get Extra Time to Take the SAT



Across the country, the number of public high-school students getting special allowances for test-taking, such as extra time, has surged in recent years, federal data show.
And students in affluent areas such as Scarsdale, Weston and Newton are more likely than students elsewhere to get the fastest-growing type of these special allowances, known as “504” designations, a Wall Street Journal analysis of data from 9,000 public schools found.

If you've got the money then your SAT is jake;
it will be touched up so good they might suspect a fake.
Or else that golden shower that your parents like to fling
will give you extra hours for to sit and do your thing.

To get the proper college is to be set up for life.
If you miss this gravy train you're in for money strife.
And tests are all-important, more important than a brain.
Cuz scholars are a dime apiece, but pencil pushers reign.

So take your time with answers, and perhaps a little drool
showing you are struggling will get you the right school.
Yes, life can be delicious if you take the proper view --
and always carry with you a sharp pencil number two.
