<p>So wait…what’s the logic here? That the SAT shouldn’t have an English-related section because some people don’t do well on it?
The College Board doesn’t seem to have the time nor resources to grade the timed essays well (bad essays can get good scores), so I think they should probably eliminate that. But I think they should continue testing people’s knowledge of the basic conventions of English writing. Writing clearly is important to most career fields. People shouldn’t be expected to write poetically or anything, but ungrammatical writing is harder to read and (for better or worse) people will make judgments about your intelligence and competence based on how you write.</p>
