> make it difficult to follow longstanding best-practices for test taking. Isn't that good? The effectiveness of test-taking strategies is a (minor) flaw in the SAT.

(The flaw is minor because all our methods for assessing people are gameable to some extent, and standardized general tests like the SAT are among the least gameable.)
