I agree. That article is bogus, and probably cooked up by some bozo commie Canadian, where they spend too much time gazing at navels and coming up with new "social" reforms.
What it fails to take into account is the variable of the time and day you took your SAT test, because on Mondays, you have a different bio-rhythm than, say, a Saturday. And, let's face it, a person who scores a 750 on a SAT test is likely cheating, so the lower score on the follow up test is well-deserved.
I'm still not sure what this has to do with completing a pass.
