That is my point. I'm not a high school student. But half the colleges I am applying to for junior transfer want an SAT score. When I have already taken a whole ton of college classes, what is the point? I've been told by many people like you that it's used to predict how well someone performs in college..well, they have over two years and dozens and dozens of credits and classes to back that up for me. Yet they STILL want the score.
And yes, the SAT/ACT may still serve a purpose for many students, but I believe its importance is overemphasized.
Oddly enough, I would prefer something like WAIS to the SAT. Having taken it before, it's vastly more enjoyable (I also spent most of my k-12 education in a gifted school requiring a certain IQ, regardless of what that measures and how useful it is overall.)

- silencio 18y agoYup. Had no choice. The second to last time I took the SAT was a few years back when I was still in like junior high and they were offering the one out of 1600. All the schools wanting SAT scores want the new one out of 2400 now. Ergo, I needed to retake it (well, more specifically, take the newer version of the exam) for applications.
