MiamiDAP, when I took it in the 80s my school district didn’t have classes above pre-calculus Even the ids that went on to become engineers at Purdue and Rose Hulman went to college without calculus. So the SAT math had just been learned my sophomore year. That is a major difference with so many CC kids today.

Now the analogies were great for me, an avid reader, but a terror to many in our class. I also seem to recall questions about yachts and sailing, one test. Not something a kids from a farm town of 800 people would recognize.

I would have loved the writing test.
