The Relationship Assessment Test (RAT) is an original text and series of proctored “test-takings,” inspired by the format and limitations of the U.S. college entrance exam, the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). April Wen (2024-25 SPCUNY Fellow) will host a series of proctored, in-person exams, where the general public can take the multilingual RAT. Each proctored exam begins with time for participants to take the test individually, then opens up into a collaborative space, where people can answer the test questions together, as well as meet the question-authors themselves. NOTAFLOF: No one turned away for lack of funds.
