Actually, I'm being rather specific since I mean the SATs.
Well, why? Why must we take them? One is not supposed to be able to dramatically increase his or her score yet there's all those SAT prep books and classes. Unlike decades ago, nowadays people take them and then retake and retake to get the best score. It has been shown that one's GPA and SAT II score is better at predicting how well they will do in college. It's just too pointless and outdated!

Ok or maybe I'm just ranting because I personally, suck at the SATs. But even if I kept getting 2400s in practice tests, I would not understand the use of the SATs.
