Gen Z teenagers are stressed out by the thought of taking a 3-hour standardized test with a No. 2 pencil and a “dumb” calculator. So the College Board, which issues the SAT, has decided to coddle them. The hosts of The Spectator P.M. Podcast are here to talk about it. Join Ellie Gardey and Aubrey Gulick as they sit down to talk about the new format of the test, their own (relatively recent) test taking experiences, and the growing epidemic of pampered high school students.
