<p>Nice try RoseOak, but not really. How does someone claiming that they are a bad test taker take " away the pride of the people who actually do well on the SAT." ? Please enlighten me. You say that this is a discussion board and discussion should be allowed but then turn around and say my discussion is not welcome. That is a little inconsistent on your part isn’t it?</p>
<p>Oh, and you can tell that the people on this thread that disagree with you are “the people who would actually make the excuse about being a ‘bad test-taker.’” And what exactly gives you the expertise to make this determination? This is an old game you play, try to discredit the person rather than facing the argument. </p>
<p>" If you are able to do well on the SAT, you will. If you don’t do well on the SAT, then you’re not as smart as the people who did better than you. It’s a simple concept." So then you are saying that the SAT measures intelligence? If I score higher than you I am smarter than you? Really? Now, I am going to guess that this topic is very important to you since you have been a member here since January 2012 and this is your fourth post. Obviously, you felt strongly enough to overcome your normal lurker status. For this? Oh, and just because something doesn’t make sense to you, does not mean it is wrong.</p>
