Even for good students, the SAT CR can be difficult because it asks vocabulary that can be unfamiliar, andexpects reading skills many students have not used.
Even for good students, the SAT Math can be difficult since it asks familiar concepts in unfamiliar ways.
Even for good students, the SAT or ACT Writing may be difficult because it asks for impromptu opinion-based essays, with a severe time constraint (25 minutes for SAT; 30 minutes for ACT).
Even for good students, the ACT Science is normally very difficult as a result of newness and also the restrictions.
High school success doesn’t necessarily automatically translate to ACT/SAT success.
The SAT may just be unfair to the recent immigrant; colleges usually tend to assess immigrant candidates by other standards. The ACT and SAT are not any longer a socio-economically biased test. It does test things related to American lifestyle, but this is the culture familiar to almost every American secondary school student.
