A New Philosophy Toward Standardized Tests

<p>This is my personal take on the SAT. IF no one studied at all, then the "smartest" students would score the best (& so down the list).</p>

<p>Anyone agree or disagree?</p>

<p>No, because the SAT isn't a measure of how much you do or don't know, it measures how well you can take a test, and it turns out that those who can take a test better than other's tend to do better in life.</p>

<p>sure...</p>

<p>try it out and tell me how it works</p>

<p>if i had my say...if you get 5s on AP BC Calc and Lang and Comp...you wouldn't have to take the SAT...what a waste of time. The only reason you get things wrong is because of careless mistakes.</p>

<p>well said english, once uve proven u can do the high level stuff the lower level stuff is just a matter of being cautious...</p>

<p>Nope. A lot of those good admissions book would even disagree with you. Some people are smart but bad test takers. Others are stupid but good test takers, and good guessers.</p>
