I missed this before. But adding the essay question was suppose to differentiate and still perfect scores.

The essay section - very easy to coach - replaced the 'analogies' section (highly correlated with innate intelligence).

Net result - not so smart people got to appear smart, i.e., were awarded higher SAT scores than they would have earned on the old test.

Regarding Hunter, I have no problem with only the highest test scorers getting in (using the old test) - even if it means that all of the students are Indian or Chinese myself.
