I agree that there needs to be another measure outside of GPA because some high schools are just plain easier than others. "but the sat DOES help determine where the student is at in relation to math, reading and writing." Some argue that the ACT, or another achievement test, is better at assessing students' skills than the SAT, which was designed as an aptitude test. Great comment, Deva.

If it isn't, what else is the college going to look at that will determine if you are accepted or not? Sure, there's the essay, GPA and such, but the sat DOES help determine where the student is at in relation to math, reading and writing. anyway that's just my opinion. the SAT is annoying though Though I only have a 1950 on the SAT so far, I still think it should be included in the college admissions process.
