So, my kid with 13th percentile processing speed shouldn't get more time on tests? Why, exactly?

Wait, are we really giving kids with "slow processing speed" extra time to equalize them with kids who do not have "slow processing speed"?

Why?[/quote]

Yes. Do you think kids with slow processing speed are stupid?[/quote]

Processing speed is not the only element of intelligence, but it is one of the elements.[/quote]

But the SAT is a test of academic readiness, not IQ. Like, the College Board explicitly says that. If it's not an IQ test, why does an element of an IQ score matter?  [/quote]

The purpose of the SAT is not what CB says the purpose is. The purpose of SAT is what its users say its purpose is. Those users are college admissions officers, and college admissions officers want high IQ kids and rich kids [/quote]
