This isn’t uncommon for universities to start doing, because unfortunately the SAT isn’t a true test of knowledge. The SAT can be taught, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they can apply their knowledge well if they got 2400.  The rise in perfect scores seems to be increasing, with so many new help books out there to help a student increase their score that they even had to make the test harder at one point. The numbers of perfect scores still seem to be rising, so the SAT is becoming weighted less when considering being accepted to colleges and universities. This could effect numerous students who are applying to colleges, some even being declined because their writing just wasn’t up to par.
