do you consider the SAT a hard test?

It’s not that it’s a hard test. Without the time constraint, everyone would score upwards of 2000 on every try. But twenty minutes for certain sections seems unreasonable. Seriously, who cares if we can do a math problem thirty seconds faster than someone else? Will that make or break your academic experience at college?



Time constraints and other aspects of the testing environment are included in the “difficulty” of the test. Therefore, you cannot make the argument that it is an easy test and the only reason people do so poorly is because of the time limit, because that in and of itself would make it a hard test.

And besides, I agree with Arachnotron that even without the time constraint, there are definitely people who would still perform poorly.
