The SAT has always been test prep oriented. The ACT has always relied on more thinking and analysis.

Are you referring to the recently-added stupid essay portion that was a new addition and added little to the test?




No, like the removal of the analogies section in favor of more memorization based sections that can be gamed with private test tutors.

The analogies are all memorization. Very little thinking involved if you have the bank of words memorized.

And if you don't have them memorized, you're a a disadvantage and have to guess. The verbal section of the SAT has always been a joke (in terms of projecting thinking/intelligence) for this reason.
