SATs

It's Saturday morning, and they're in school. How depressing. They're there for their SAT's, but Zack would rather be at the beach working on his T-A-N. Belding puts a ridiculous amount of pressure on the kids. Nice work Richie.

Cut to the Max. It's several weeks later, and the results of the tests are back. Time to find out the scores:

Screech: 1220
Kelly: 1100
Lisa: 1140
Slater: 1050
Zack: 1502
Jessie: 1205

It seems word of Zack's outstanding SAT score has spread around school. And Heather, a girl we've never seen before, wants Zack to help her study (She just happens to look a lot like Melody from "Hey Dude"). Also, college representatives are at Bayside for the next couple days. The academic juggernaut Stansbury is there, and they seem to think he's perfect Stansbury material. It's always been Jessie's dream to attend there, but her SAT score obviously isn't high enough.

Mr.s Billingham (the Stansbury rep) shows up at the Max and offers Slater a full football scholarship. I didn't realize academic recruiters did that. I wonder if the head ball coach knows that she's out there offering scholarships.

Belding wants to upgrade Zack's class load because he obviously hasn't been challenged enough. It's time for Zack's hot study date with Heather, but she bring her boyfriend. What a cockblock. School is ruining Zack's life!

He hires James (the actor/waiter from the Max) to pretend to be a Harvard representative at the college fair. And he's only there to see Miss Jessica Spano. She's the "find of the century." Suddenly Stansbury has an interest in Jessie. She's their number one choice! But Jessie's wise to the plan, and wants nothing to do with it. Jessie turns them down, and for some reason, Slater says no thanks to his full football scholarship. Solid investment in your future guys.

James plays a representative from the SAT board and has a meeting with Belding. He doesn't recognize him (I guess he doesn't remember meeting James as Derek Morris). Anyways, James claims they're working Zack too hard, and Belding goes for it. No more class work for Zack! And we're left to wonder where they decide to go to college.



QUOTES!
Slater: Boy, it's a good thing I didn't tell her they offered me a car!
(It's probably a good thing you don't tell anyone that Slater. That's a violation of NCAA rules).

Standardized tests are such a crock. When I think of an elite school like Stansbury screening students solely off standardized test scores rather than looking at the whole person concept, i get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

The 'Harvard of the West' better start acting like it or we'll have to start labeling Stansbury the 'Ball State of the West'
