New research reveals that students who take the SAT more than once see improved scores, and thus likely increases four-year college enrollment significantly. As the New York Times reported, "…on average, retaking [the SAT] improved scores by nearly 90 points out of 2,400 — more for low scorers. Students who retook the test were likelier to enroll in a four-year (vs. two-year) college, probably because improved scores made them stronger applicants.”

And in other breaking news, the earth is round (well, it’s really more of an oblate spheroid, but that information will make some people’s heads explode) and man did walk on the moon, and, which many outlets thought was actually news-worthy, Hitler died in 1945.
