<p>It measure intelligence to some degree…
I can honestly tell you I’m not very smart to begin with, but I study in school which is how I do well. Last year I scored a 1600 on my PSAT. After studying for an entire year, my SAT score (the one i got this november) was over 2000. I went up 400 points from studying for a little over half a year. Am I smarter from studying for this SAT? no, not at all. i just learned some tricks that ended up getting me a 400 point increase. so, basically, i don’t know if you can say it measures intelligence. i do think it’s the only fair way to judge people based on intelligence. if you just went off of GPA that wouldn’t be fair at all. the SAT is the only way to fairly judge everyone because everybody gets the same test.</p>
