Those who are using score improvements as counterarguments. Don't you believe that IQ can be improved?

Really, it makes no sense to say that score improvements are because of "hard work". If you're saying that the SAT doesn't measure knowledge in its entirety as the ACT does or other subject tests, then how would acquiring more knowledge and "working hard" improve your score. Don't you think its more plausible to say that the student's reasoning abilities have improved?
