Bring back the old SAT no essay section . 1800 is perfect and it works . If u do not do well u know what extra classes should be taken before paying college expenses.

It’s good for all students to know if they r prepared for college and where their weaknesses lie. It saves parents and students money!

Every time the teacher union changes things it’s always bad . We need phonics and rote math . Everyone can learn this way . Also , stop catering to the stupid :bring students up to and beyond expectations. I taught and if students believe they can do amazing things .

I took the SAT way back in 1965 and I completely agree with eliminating the essay section: Verbal REASONING skills (which are largely innate) need to be evaluated, not WRITING skills (which can largely be taught). So eliminate any essays entirely. I don't believe there was an essay section back then, but as its been 59 years since I took the SAT my memory could be off.
