"I doubt anyone in the history of MIT ever prepped more than 5 minutes for the Math part of the SAT."

The math part is so easy that MIT-caliber students can just show up and get 800, assuming they don't make a stupid mistake or something. The person made the point that people in past MIT classes got high SAT scores because they spent so much time studying for the SAT. I just think that is absurd. Even if you did prep somewhat for the math part just to be safe, it's completely a waste of time. I mean, the questions are like "which quantity is bigger,
1/2 or 1/3?". "x^3 or x^2?" Using the Pythagorean theorem. It's a joke.
