The SAT measures general scholastic aptitude in verbal and quantitative reasoning. The test is designed to measure reasoning ability, not accumulated knowledge. It's meant to measure basic skills that you can master by the end of high school. Yeah, I'll get in. I think you have to look at a student's potential not based on a standardized test.
People change during college, depending on the college they go to, their friends, classes.
Their lifestyles change and so do their grades and their ability to achieve, Matt says. Well, I believe that the SAT should not be the most important thing that a college looks at. At one of the schools I'm looking into, they make it like fourth. I have test anxiety, and I don't do well on them. It shouldn't be completely eliminated, just toned down so people still take them seriously, but it's not that they can still get into a good school despite the score for that one test.
