Beating the SAT-My quest for a 2000+, come in and read..

<p>Despite the fact that the SAT is an "aptitude" test, it can still be overcome. On one hand, some people are good at it due tot he fact that they were raised this way. For example, at a young age the child may be reading more than an "average" child. As a result, as time progresses these qualities mature and his/her reading abilities will become stronger. There is no such thing as a math/verbal quality that is innate. Everything must be worked for to produce good effects. According to John Locke, and other Enlightenment Philosophers we are all born at a "Black Slate" which means that it is the "environment" that molds us to who we are. Looking at it from the psychology perspective, living in Harlem is much different from living by Harvard.</p>

<p>Nobody should be judged on his/her qualities becuase they earned that. This means that people such as Spartan Pho3nix are not naturally smart. You have to consider that they worked to that level and they deserve those outcomes. Therefore, people should not judge others on how smart he or she is.. thats just wrong and inhumane.</p>

<p>From kevin's perspective, he can still inprove on his qualities. With some preping over the summer he can get that 2000+. Moreover, he should not be criticized for trying to study because the people that are getting above a 2000+ did study. They read books and did math problems. There is NO SUCH THING as walking into that SAT Room and getting a 2000+ WITHOUT Preperation. You can quote me on that!</p>
