As someone who did well on the SAT precisely because I knew all those obscure synonyms, this is a good move. Prior changes to make the test more fair for speakers of dialects other than Standard American English were also good, even if they

I'm currently in India and have a consumption level well below that of the average poor American. I'm suffering no particular adverse consequences. It doesn't make sense to compare the two. Basics costs are much lower in In
