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.
