Odd Exam

Getting into college is a game—of virtual reality—in this tale of higher education from the New York Times–bestselling author.

Odd Exam is a novella from Piers Anthony about an unusual college entrance examination. Entrance exams are taken in the form of a multi-player online game in a semi-virtual reality, with portals to other worlds and alien monsters. For those who qualify, board and tuition will be free.
