<p>"According to Schmill, the scores from the writing section were collected but not used to evaluate students."</p>

<p>Wow... had they ever explained this before? Comes as a surprise to me, and somewhat disappointing since my writing score raised my average from 735 to over 750.</p>

I would like to note that Byerly is amazing and posted this article before lazy Mollie had even seen The Tech this morning. :)</p>
