It’s 1978, and the influence of the college entrance exams has never been higher. Almost every major college in the country requires a test for admission. But the industry is entirely unregulated. Wealthy students who take prep classes and hire tutors consistently score higher than those who don’t. But since neither test will release past exams, it’s impossible for students who can’t afford classes to study on their own. Politicians begin to take notice, including powerful consumer advocate Ralph Nader. As state legislatures around the country start pushing for more transparency in testing, the SAT and the ACT have to bond together to prevent laws that will change their business forever.
