Was the old SAT aptitude or achievement?

<p>I’ve been reading several articles that came out shortly after the debut of the March 2005 test. People said that the old SAT was an “aptitude” test whereas the new one is very much an achievement test. </p>

<p>Do you guys think that this is true?</p>

<p>apparently the SAT is just the SAT now. it transcends having to stand for anything.</p>

<p>Well, yeah, but I mean, was the test more IQish then than it is now?</p>

<p>The old sat (as in, pre 1994ish) was much more of an aptitude test. Once they released the test we now know as the old sat, they changed the name to an achievment test (and it reflected that title more so than before). I think the New Sat is only slightly more achievement based, but not significantly.</p>
