<p>Think about it, how often does someone you think of as “more stupid” than others score well on the SAT? Rarely if at all. That’s because it does measure general ability. Sure, if you hire a tutor you can get a slightly better grade, but that doesn’t guarantee a perfect score. Perhaps you could study hard enough to “master” the SAT as people are suggesting,…but that’s not an easy task! If you study that much to master the test then surely your intelligence did increase because for studying to help you on it, you need to understand topics not only memorize. SAT is all about thinking critically.</p>
