Being able to afford $100+ an hour for a pro to teach you exactly what you need to know to do well on the SAT is gaming the system

What if I hire an inexpensive tutor? Is that acceptable? Is there a price threshold?

This is actually a serious question. I want to get an understanding of the mind-set that creates this class wedge.

I think the argument is that no specific prep for the SAT should be necessary, the exam should measure your abilities from your schooling.
