SAT's

[phazzedout]

I say a good essay question and a math test. I mean if you can write well and do arithmetic well, everything else will be easy.

I just downloaded a SAT test paper, and it is seriously a joke. The maths part of it I had enough knowledge to do maybe in 3rd/4th year of secondary school, and isn't challenging at all. The Language parts are dead easy as well. I have also been doing some SAT practice questions online and only have one wrong so far (and that was just a careless mistake in a maths question). I really don't know what the SAT is meant to test apart from rather basic general knowledge.

That's all it is for is basic knowledge. Basically, colleges just want to make sure they don't let a cheater in or something.

Does anyone see the irony in the title of this thread? I'm just wondering.

I don't get it...

What is ironic?... i started this thread 3 months ago hehe...


but yea overall, I beleive SATS, or any other timed test, does not measure a person's intellect as much as people think it may.
