I took the test yesterday. All standardized tests are a joke. People who say pascal should still be used seem to be forgetting that: 1) The test are based on whatever language the majority of colleges are teaching. 2) Java is natively object oriented. Pascal is not. Object oriented concepts need to be tought along with algorithms, they are now almost as important.
