Who gives a crap?

The SAT/ACT will measure one, or both, of two things. How naturally intelligent the taker is, or how much he/she worked on preparing for the test.

Both qualities are highly esteemed, and equal, I would say, in the field of academics. A naturally intelligent person, or a hard worker can both break 2100. A naturally intelligent AND hard working person is the scores you see above 2300.

But I have never seen a unintelligent lazy person score high on the SAT. Period. So who cares, since the purpose of the test is to qualify people for admission anyway? If you're twice as slow but work twice as hard as the person next to you, why shouldn't you be given the same opportunity to succeed.
