I think that if more schools and more psychologists were cognizant of the fact that giftedness does not preclude having specific learning disabilities or processing deficits, these students would be able to get reasonable accommodations on the SAT (and in college) and achieve at a level more in line with their intellectual ability.
ETA: They would also be better able to understand why some things were so much harder for them than for others and not doubt their own intelligence so much.
