[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I blame the internet for making it so much easier to prep for the SAT. Or maybe I blame the internet for exposing it and showing us all it isn't very good at measuring aptitude? [/quote] The current SAT is not designed to measure aptitude.[/quote] Then why are the most competitive schools requiring it again?[/quote] DP: Because the test now measures college readiness: [b]knowledge[/b] of math, reading, and writing. An aptitude test evaluates a student's [b]natural abilities and strengths[/b]. The College Board no longer considers the test an aptitude test (this is well documented). It hasn't been an aptitude test since the 1990s. Some history: https://www.erikthered.com/tutor/sat-act-history.html [/quote]
