How much have they already dumbed down the SAT from when I was in high school?
Good Q I heard they added a essay part but I bet you had more incentive to be a good student because today colleges will provide remedial high school subjects. But do all students really need to take a SAT test and then fail out of college? That's a bad Q - they can always find a crap courses in a college that will take them for the $$$ if they got financial aid from someone. Base financial aid on the SAT scores and there will be an improvement.
