en I wonder if it's going to be a test too far. They're changing the length, the range and the format all at once, so it could prompt the same kind of backlash among students and admissions offices alike as the new SAT has. It's true that the old test didn't do a good job of predicting graduate school performance, but when you add in everything everybody asks for, you get a camel — a camel being a horse built by committee.

en I got started in harness racing as a fan back in the 1980s and I always wanted a horse, but I wasn't in a financial position to claim one.
