I'm going to a college which doesn't particularly give a crap about SAT scores, so I didn't see any need to prepare for it at all. Got a 1470, which I'm happy with, but I fail to see how so many people regard this as some kind of accurate metric for gauging...uhm...anything; your score on the SAT is far from being a meaningful measurement of intelligence or knowledge. If you don't pick the "correct" connection between "petting zoo" and "tactical thermonuclear missile launcher" in the analogies section, who gives a shit? And who's to say that their answer is the only correct one ("choose the
best answer"...give me a break)?
A girl at my school bought 3 SAT-preparation books and went to all the preparation classes and got a 1500 (took her 3 tries). She went on and on about how she (obviously!) must be intellectually superior to everyone in the school, and really the entire human race, as well.
Unfortunately, she couldn't seem to pass Calculus like the rest of my math class. Too bad...
