[quote=Anonymous]For people who don’t like the IQ test vibe, just think that the SAT is testing different skills than a math or English class. The test is trying to trick you, by offering attractive but false answers. What it’s testing is your ability to analyze a question REALLY closely. For reading, it’s not at all like an English class. The skill is much closer to that of a lawyer, who is dissecting every word to detect a possible change of meaning. You can be good/bad at that skill even if you’re bad/good at English classes. Same with math. Not saying being good in class doesn’t help, but they’re not precisely the same skills and not easily taught. [quote=Anonymous]SAT is indeed partially an IQ test, figuring out the questions and the answers quickly. Often there is an answer that "looks right" in the verbal if you misunderstand the question. Aptitude. Grades are work and perseverance.[/quote][/quote]
