Oh man. This is going to make my score much less impressive

We all know what the SAT is; It's that boring test that requires all high school students to take if they want to get accepted to a university. Apparently they have recently changed the perfect SAT score from 1600 to 2400 by adding a writing/grammar section to the test.

Suddenly, my SAT score doesn't look so good.

Oh well... Who cares. One of the best things about being in the professional industry is that you no longer have to deal with tests like the SAT. If you decide to go to graduate school, you might have to take the GRE or GMAT, but at least those tests use the adaptive method, which is a slightly better reflection of your intelligence than the SAT.

One thing that some of these top universities haven't yet learned is that the SAT is so incredibly overrated as a predictor of success in higher education, and even in life. This test is so ridiculously coachable that anyone with money can take test prep classes to increase their scores by 200-300. With this score change it is going to give the low income kids a bigger disadvantage than there already is.

In a perfect world, I wish universities would de-emphasize the importance of the SAT; But this is not a perfect world, and so it probably is never going to happen. My advice to these kids - life is not fair, deal with it.
