how do you get a scholarship on the sat?
Can you really get one from the SAT?  I thought they only gave out those National Merit things for the PSAT.  If you want to do well on the SAT (which isn't a bad idea), try studying some of the prep books or taking a preparation class.  They're generally helpful if you lack the self-discpline of studying tons of vocab for no reason and reading quite a bit to get through those sections.
I've heard ad nauseum that they screw black folks because not everyone speaks or thinks like the people who wrote these tests.
