[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The college board should extend the time for EVERYONE. That will remove the processing speed gaming  and truly test the knowledge. [/quote]

except ... the WHOLE POINT IS TESTING PROCESSING SPEED.  save your arguments for the colleges -- let them figure out admissions standards that go beyond processing speed.  and stop denying that processing speed is not one important component of ability for some kinds of achievement.  [/quote]

No. The test is not to test speed. The point is to see if somebody has learned enough in 17 years to attend a college. [/quote]

why do you think the test is timed, then?  it tests speed and knowledge.  [/quote]

Because proctors are expensive. [/quote]

They are paid $15 an hour. [/quote]

+ cost of the location ... times how many centers.

SAT is a cash cow, they are a business. They don't care about education, they care about money. [/quote]
