Being a math SAT tutor, my gut instinct is that the new SAT will be more fair than the old test. The current test can be mastered with the help of a tutor and by spending vast sums of time figuring out the nuances on the test. Preparation can boost your score 100-300 points easy.

I'm not sure whether that is good or bad, however. Most things in life are about preparation, so maybe being able to "prep" well for the SAT is a good reflector of aptitude. But it does seem unfair to me that rich students are able to get private tutors (me) whereas poor students don't have that luxury. But the same goes for private vs public education...and on a moral level it's unfair that some students are born smarter than others...so perhaps fairness should have nothing to do with it.
