Chapter 17: Sear

The next morning Sam took us to his office; one of the buildings that I had thought was abandoned. They hadn’t gotten around to doing any maintenance.

"What is on the agenda for today?" I looked like hell from my rough night.

"Today we are going to figure out your government approved education level." Sam stood at the front of the room, while the rest of us sat behind a long table spaced evenly apart.

"And how are we going to do that?" Ronnie leaned back in his chair and crossed his arm. He looked bored.

"With the ELAT." Sam smiled.

"What is the ELAT?" I asked.

"The E.L.A.T. Education Level Assessment Test." He paced a few steps in either direction.

We all groaned in unison at the prospect of a test. School was something that we were all ready to leave in the past.

"I know. I know. Its two hundred and fifty questions and you have three hours to finish. We will go over the results together when everyone is finished." He passed out the tests to everyone. Each packet had a different designation on the front page making it clear that each one was very different.

Once everyone had a test, pencil, and a calculator he sat down behind a desk at the edge of the room, "Get started." He pressed the start button on a timer.

The test was simple, but it did get harder as I went deeper into the pages. All of the questions were based on information that we had seen dozens of times.

I breezed through the material in about two hours. I closed the booklet and set back in my chair. I started to draw some lines on the corner of a scrap sheet of paper.

Sam came over and took my packet without saying a word. He returned to his desk to grade my work.

Everyone finished well before time was up, and we all sat quietly while Sam graded the tests. After he finished he passed them back out.

"Here is how this works." He clapped his hands together and looked around the room, "The grade that you have determines your average education level. If you score high enough, we, and the government, will consider you a graduate and issue you a diploma. We have no way to pinpoint where you need to start without the test. Let’s just say that Aurora did not think your education was a priority.”

"Alrighty then, I like the sound of that." Kenny blurted out.

"Two hundred and ten points plus tells us that you are of high school graduate level education, 250 is a perfect score." Sam pointed to the tests.

I opened my packet and turned to the front page. In thick black numbers two-two-nine was scrawled across the page. I breathed a sigh of relief.

We all scored high enough to be done with school. Rachel had been the closest; she had been held for so long. When we asked how she could have known all the information she said that they were teaching her, but she left it at that, and didn't want to elaborate.
