On: Major Changes in SAT Announced by College Board

Not sure what you are saying. The claim is that you could have done better had you really tried and taking courses is one way of doing that.

Maybe I misinterpreted "success on the SAT" and "solely". In context, I took it to mean people had test test prep did well, in the absolute sense, and those who did not have test prep did not do well. I was providing myself as an example of someone who did well in the absolute sense with no preparation. I was not saying I could not have done better with preparation.

Some feel if they succeed without trying, then this success is more meaningful than those whose foundation for success was built on hard work.

Some also feel their time is better spent on learning and smart work and not dry, repetitive practice of test-taking strategies.
