The CATW test is grade by a scoring rubric which ranges from 1 to 6 points in each category. 1 threw 2 describes weak responses, 3 to 4 describe mid level responses, and 5 to 6 describe good or superior responses. In order to pass the test you must use critical responses, general statements, must have a central focus or idea, and correct grammar.

CATW Reading

The CATW reading selections describes the necessity needed for a CATW assessment test, and what it pertains to. It also describes what areas can be in the assessment such as sociology, psychology, technology and other popular cultures. The authors most important idea in this passage is in order to prepare for a reading you must understand the type of reading . This is important so that when you describe the passage you could refer to the reading with your own knowledge and experience. If you can not understand the reading how can you relate to it to describe the reading. So i think the author made a very important point in this passage.

Allegory Of The Cave

In Plato's Allegory of The Cave, Socrates is explaining to his young follower Glaucon that we inhabit a world of  Ignorance , where people can't accept the truth. He explains to Glaucon that when you want to expand your  Wisdom  that people may look at you like your weird , but when you understand the fact and  acknowledged the truth you will never want to go back to ignorance.

Hype

The Author of this passage is absolutley correct about how much advertisment has an impact on us, as you are driving in the highway you can encounter up to four billboards in a mile from experience.It says that there are up to 3,000 marketing messages per day, and when you think about it if I encounter 4 billboards a day, and travel 4-6 miles a day, listening to the radio, driving by bus adds, and watch about 3 hours of tv when I arrive home I can say I acummulated about 3,000 marketing message right there. In the summary he describes all the significant ways you can encounter advertisments such as, filling gas, tv commercials, and even in clasrooms which creates ways for you to invest in their buisness. This actually does pollute your brain because there is no way to hide from it, they are everywhere you turn, and i belive that is the most significant idea he mentioned so far. In this world buisness keeps the economy in order and in order to keep buisness to build you must advertise. Advertise to the point it makes us sick to our guts.
