Those aren't the people I'm talking about, obviously. I've mentioned folks I knew in HS who came back with relatively poor scores while I thought they were pretty bright folks, and vice versa. And the SAT of course doesn't really measure what you KNOW, they measure how you think. A person can have all kinds of facts in his head and do poorly because his logic skills are lacking.
Really? I view the SAT as the opposite of how you put it.
Try a math problem without knowing the formula needed to be utilized.
Try the summary of a paragraph question without knowing the unique vocabulary contained within it.
Sure, some smart people may be overly stressed or lack confidence, but that's the exception. If a test isn't hard, you shrug and do it.
