We all remember our SAT scores, and so, no doubt, does Nicholas Lemann. Mr. Lemann, a scion of lawyers who scored well enough to get into Harvard, was obsessed enough with the exam to write “The Big Test: The Secret History of the American Meritocracy.”

Buried in the history of testing is an incisive sociology of the high-testing class. It should be required reading for every fancy lawyer who is unsure how he or she became one.
