What is the most effective way to improve the organization of this passage? Say Yes to the SAT

(1) Some people are afraid of the SAT because of what it measures: general intelligence. (2)There is no need for fear, however, because as this essay will show, the SAT is a good general intelligence test. (3) Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that the SAT is not only an accurate predictor of how a student will fare during his or her first year of college but also a reliable predictor of how a student will do during all four years of college.
(4) There is no denying that sometimes the SAT does not do its job. (5) Occasionally, a student who earns a high SAT score ends up flunking out of college. (6) Occasionally, a student who earns a low SAT score ends up in Phi Beta Kappa (a collegiate academic honor society) and graduates with highest honors. (7) The SAT is not perfect, but that is not a reason to get rid of it.
(8) Like it or not, the general intelligence for which the SAT tests is what will separate students who will do well and fit in at schools such as Harvard and Princeton from students who will be better off attending community college first. (9) Unfortunately, hard work is not always enough, and that is why the SAT is here to stay.
(10) Naysayers do not like the idea of a test that cannot be mastered with old-fashioned hard work. (11) In school, a student who devotes hours and hours of time to studying for a course can typically raise his or her grade. (12) If the same student devotes just as much time to studying for the SAT, his or her score will not increase significantly.

Now you will do a special kind of problem. you will use the blue boxes below to put events of the story "the baby-sitter" in correct order. each blue box has seven sentences inside it. click the first blue box until you see the first thing that happened in the story. then go on to the next box and the next thing that happened. the last thing that happened should be in the last box. you may need to look back at the story to you remember. if you change your mind at any time while you are working the problem, you can return to a box and click to find a different sentence. when you are all finished, you will be able to read down the list of sentences and see all seven events from the story in the right order. mary jo began to read the alphabet book. mary jo couldn't move. mother asked mary jo to baby-sit. jimmy was very quiet. he had fallen asleep. jimmy to read the book. mother said, "you are a very good baby-sitter." mother picked up sleeping jimmy.
