You make some valid points. It’s sad that so many high school graduates can’t complete a simple math problem without a calculator and can’t tell the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Why bother taking the SAT when it will practically resemble the ACT? And come on Mr. Coleman, the prep companies will continue to grow. After all, how will students learn how to do the math problems without a calculator. Who will teach them about the historical documents.
Also every prep company has policies for students who qualify for free and reduced lunch.

A good thing, in that the relative absence of these skills in high school teaching has been a severe problem. Tutors who have built their SAT reading methods around rhetoric will probably enjoy the new test.
