Those are all very good points, and I agree completely. But trust me, schooling helps a lot more than you’d think for the SAT. Like I said, grammar isn’t taught in every school, and it is near impossible to really know it well by yourself, IMO. We tend to not realize all the things we actually learn while in school.

But yes, being able to perform on the SAT is a good skill, but probably not the most important, and definitely not the only worthy test-like ability. I wish there was some standardized test for proof-writing ability :P
