<p>I almost wholeheartedly disagree. Although the SAT is obviously a measure of one’s intelligence to an extent, it is not fair to say that people who claim to be bad test takers are lying and that they are actually just stupid. I have a 1980 composite, from twice (and a 31 ACT from three times), but the reason my scores aren’t higher isn’t because I’m stupid. It’s because the time constraints stress me out. I try and pace myself to get all the questions correctly and run out of time. I’m not necessarily a a BAD test taker, since my scores are considered above average, but my test scores do not accurately reflect my ability to think critically and draw conclusions. </p>
<p>I know that I am intelligent, and I don’t need a test to tell me whether I am.</p>
