book concludes with the College Board's 2005 requirement for an essay to be submitted as part
of the new SAT®: Reasoning Test. Intended for teachers who must prepare students to submit
their writing for formal assessment  administrators who must make critical decisions based on
test scores  and policy makers who must allocate resources based on evaluation systems  On a
Scale provides a much-needed historical and conceptual background to questions arising from
national attention to student writing ability.
