<p>Predict what kind of thread you're going to read in this board in 10 years from now.</p>

<p>"I've only got 2400 on my SAT, what should I do?"</p>
<h1>2 says:</h1>
<p>"2400 out of 4800??? WEAK! I guess you just have to go to a community college."</p>
<p>hahaha... actually, i do believe in the year 2016 (that's when my little sister graduates :)) they'll finally realize that the sat is a totally unfair way of judging how "smart" or "qualified" a person is for any particular college and devise some new method to torture high schoolers...</p>
<p>Well, sadly the wealthy people who can actually pay tutors for SAT say it's a fair test. And the college board now requires to take a test in reading, math writing, us history, european history, biology, chemistry, and physics.</p>
<p>A random guy posts:
"2390/2400. I have shamed my family"</p>
<p>Another dude posts:
"As an 8th grader I only scored 2300/2400! What are the chances of me becoming a plumber?"</p>
<p>Well, sadly the wealthy people who can actually pay tutors for SAT say it's a fair test.</p>
<p>Being that I am a wealthy person who pays tutors for SAT prep, I can disprove this erroneous comment. I personally think the SAT is complete BS, as does my family and many people I know personally. There are many way to test ability. Some people such as myself arent natural standardized test takers.</p>

<p>they aren't gonna get rid of the SAT so soon, they've been giving the test for how many decades? how many people have **** about the SAT being unfair before 2016? yea they are never gonna get rid of a college admissions test, they might replace the SAT but it will still be a test just as unfair as the SAT...</p>
<p>in 10 years time: </p>
<p>i hope they just get rid of the whole test. why can't we get into college without tests.
if we could just meet a dean or something and get accepted if we give him/her a good impression.</p>
<p>That is just unfair... I suggest they have entrance test for your prospective major instead of the SAT....</p>
<p>but my way can garuntee a place in college.</p>
<p>But my way is solely based on their natural ability..... (Which is a measure of one's potential to succeed in college)</p>
<p>well so is the SAT, So if that is what you want, then why get rid of the test. it does what you just specified...</p>
<p>The SAT 1 tests mostly your verbal, and majors like Physics and Engineering wouldnt require your english to be excellent... and as for the Math section in the SAT1, it is sooooo easy....</p>
<p>it's easy bec. (according to CB) it is to test your basic Math skills only and is not intended to test you on hard/college level math.
which is why they have SAT II physics tests.</p>
<p>SAT 2s should be valid.. but i completly disagree with SAT 1... (it disadvantage us internationals, like you and I)</p>
<p>i guessyou're right about that. (how'd u know i'm an int'l student?)</p>
<p>I read ure thread in the transfer forum... we are in similar situations...</p>
<p>gtg off the computer now... ttyl stuckon1700</p>
<p>Oh my bad it was in the international students thread....</p>
<p>I predict that the asians will create a watch which gives them the correct answer, and so they get perfect scores on every test.</p>
<p>Not like they'd need that watch....</p>
<p>All of you people that want to get rid of the SAT, what is your alternative? How else do you tell the difference between a 4.0 at some terrible NYC school or a 4.0 at Exeter? If you can come up with a better way, please alert the collegeboard now, but if not, dont complain about the SAT.</p>
