Goofs:

Factual errors: The cheat sheets the kids made only had the letter answers. The SAT uses many different forms with both a different order of questions and a different order of answers. So the cheat sheets would have been useless.

Matty: This is never gonna work.
Kyle: It'll be okay.
Matty: [scoffs] Yeah, we're going to be great. I mean, all-state's phone is ringing off the hook here, and...
[looks behind him at Roy]
Matty: Roy's trying to smoke Larry's comforter.

Average Teen Film. Scarlett still Great.

I think that this film was missing many things in making it good. It was your average teen film with nothing special. Plot was kind of like that of the movie Cheaters. The movie was borderline R rated. The only pluses were the stoned guy the whole film and Scarlett who is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses. If you must see this film go into it with no thought and you may actually like it. Or you could just go see it for the only two good things mentioned above.
