[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SAT is a really bad test. It’s almost designed to support the SAT prep industry. My kid was sick when his school gave the PSAT junior year. There were no options to take it sophomore year or earlier in our area. He took the SAT instead later that year. Did OK at 1400 but scored very low in the verbal section. He did an online prep course and scored 1570 the next time. No super-score etc. He mentioned that you have to learn the pattern of poorly constructed and poorly worded questions. [b]He also mentioned that he was sure several math problems were Calculus based [/b]and wouldn’t have found them easy if he hadn’t just studied for the AP Calc BC exam. We need a better test.[/quote] The SAT does not include calculus. [/quote]
