Bill Short, president of the New York State HEOP Professional Organization, said by e-mail that the purpose of having a maximum SAT score is to find the students whose finances interfered with their ability to succeed. "The difference comes down to which student had access to better prep, and were therefore [at an] educational disadvantage."



I think he might advantage and students.

Or simply be more keen at taking tests. An SAT prep book is $13 online, $20 at Barnes and Noble. Although the article does mention that less than 5% of HEOP applicants make it, but that’s beside the point.
