Passage: "The classroom was silent except for the scratch of pencils on paper. Students hunched over their desks, foreheads creased with concentration. Outside, spring beckoned with sunshine and birdsong, but inside, the high-stakes test demanded all attention. These three hours would determine placement, scholarships, futures. For some students, this test measured years of hard work. For others, it measured little beyond test-taking skills and the ability to perform under pressure on a single Tuesday morning in May."
