<p>This topic has been debated over and over again. The point of fact is this: people who score well on the SAT are inclined to believe that the SAT measures strict intelligence, thus making them biased towards that certain argument; on the other hand, those who score poorly on the SAT are inclined to believe that the SAT is biased towards affluent families, etc…</p>
<p>Of course, the same applies to the ACT, although I feel many here on CC fail to realize this. Yes, to those on CC, the ACT may seem easier than the SAT. But, one fact which many fail to notice is that the sum total of people who take the ACT and SAT and claim that the ACT is “easier” is comparatively low.</p>
<p>College aptitude/intelligence/readiness tests will always remain faulty, since they really don’t test anything. A high level of intelligence will not constitute a successful college freshman, nor will a low level constitute an unsuccessful one.</p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p>
