DAT tests are taken by sopho- mores as a group every year. The DAT, the Differential Aptitude Test, covers subjects to help students pro- file themselves and their aptitudes. IVlrs. Lyall Davis, a sophomore coun- selor, stressed that this test is an aptitude test and not an achievement test. Aptitude, she said, is the ability a student has to learn. A per- son's aptitude doesn't change. The test is supposed to determine a student's natural aptitude, so the results can be valuable to a student for years to come. Verbal reasoning, numerical abil- ity, clerical speed and accuracy, mechanical reasoning and space rel- ations are the subjects which are cov- ered in the test. The test which runs from advisory to lunchtime is taken by half of the sophomores on one day, and the other half the following day. Many sophomores complain of having to take such a long test, how- ever, Mrs. Davis says it is crucial for the students, because the test not only allows them to see where their abilities lie, but it also helps the stu- dent see where his strengths lie so he can better plan for his future career. A small booklet, and career chart help the student evaluate his scores so that he can determine exactly where his talents lie. Testing always takes a lot out of students, espee cially when they last half the day. sophomores 187 by Jim Sturm, Joyce Hain
