Admissions testing changes - Errata

The following corrects/clarifies some details about what I just sent you regarding the Admissions testing changes. Thanks to Corbin C. for the corrections.

1) The two parts are taken in the following order: essay, then computer. It doesn't matter a lot, but it would reduce confusion with students if it was listed in that order as well.

2) Students may only retest once in 2 years. It's not just about resources, it's also about the quality and security of the test. The more the students take the test, the more likely they are to perform better because of familiarity, rather than ability. (I believe the update indicated multiple retests were possible and that there was a free test every year.)
