do you consider the SAT a hard test?

To respond to Arachnatron:

-The SAT is longer than any test you take in school.
-Before you take a test at school, provided you have a decent teacher, you are aware of what’s going to be on it and taught how to solve what’s on it. If you want to really do well on the SAT, you have to go out of your way on your own to figure out what’s going to be on the test and how to solve everything (unless you were somehow taught all of this in school and memorized it).
-There is a difference between a good school test-taker, and a good standardized test-taker. At school, there usually aren’t crazy time restrictions, especially on writing. Being a good standardized test-taker means you can think quickly and accurately and in a way that helps you take standardized tests.
-A lot of schoolwork is also paper-driven (at least where I go), in which we have our own time to do the work. Meaning it isn’t just about the tests.
