Okay, but either way the newer SAT reasoning test isn't what was being looked at in research that said that the SAT was essentially equivalent to an IQ test. I don't believe that there has been any research indicating that the newer SAT is anything more than an achievement test.

Back on the original thoughts, though, and despite the fact that prep is widely done and places kids who don't prep at a disadvantage, I still can't condone prepping. IMHO whether everyone else is doing it or not and whether the test is being misused or not, studying for a test that is being used as an ability test is not right.
