Fun for weirdos

A little while ago, I saw there was a job writing practice SAT questions. The application process was writing and submitting five sample questions with answers and explanations. I never heard back from them, so I guess they weren't up to snuff. I just found them on my desktop, and thought it was ironic because we're now studying up for upcoming GRE's. Anyway...want to test yourself?
