Just finished another article, Examined Life, which is about the S.A.T.s and how effective they are. Apparently hard work and determination means nothing to the people who made the S.A.T., which is silly.
Gladwell gives a lot of information in the article as well as establishes his point. I knew nothing about the S.A.T. and now I know enough to have an opinion about the test.
It's interesting too, he gives examples of actual problems on the test and how it can be answered without actually reading any passages or (for math) solving any problems.
Like the last article, he frames and bases this article on a person, Stanley H. Kaplan, and uses plenty of examples and evidence.
