SAT's

[il]

My sociology professor said that the SAT's don't measure your intelligence but your income and ability to pay for college. Or something like that. What do you think?

i don't see how the SAT measures your income or ability to pay for college. what reasoning did he give for that?

i thought the SAT was stupid just because it was basically an endurance test. in what situation would i ever be taking a standardized test for 4 hours?

SAT's measure your ability to do math, reading comprehension, and writing on a college level.
How do they measure your income? The SAT's i took didn't come with a W2.

I don't remember exactly what he said. It's probably not the SAT's then. Maybe someone has heard of something similar before?

I sort of agree. It measures your income based on if you were able to pay 2k for a class, which means you're more than willing to pay 50k a year for a mediocre education. I know when I did SAT prep I didn't pay but did sort of well (1980). All my friends who paid all did amazingly well (2100+).

Kids who can afford to pay for private school/living in a good public school district/SAT prep classes score higher.

I think that's what your prof is getting at.

Paying doesn't guarantee high scores though

There is some truth to this. I'll just leave it at that.
