Thanks. That was very helpful perspective. I suppose I can always sit DS down with a released or practice SAT math and see if passes teh SMPY hurdle.

It's been a really long time since I took the SAT, but I seem to remember time and tricky questions as the factors, at least for the high end scores (above 700). However, I took the SAT back when it was considered a reliable estimate for IQ and before the test and scores got watered down so that over 700 was actually impressive as oppose to just very good.
