Basically the American's sophmore is the Brit's year 10-11.

It's a standardized test that americans take in order to qualify for scholarships or get accepted into colleges with. Pretty much a general intelligence exam, if you can call it that, because that's what it measures. It measures reading skills and mathematical skills. There's a writing portion, but that's just been recently added.

Agreed.

Also, the mathmatical portion of the exam isn't even about how much you know about Math; you still need to know the fundementals but you can solve basically all of those questions using basic math principles and effective reasoning/problem solving.

The thing is actually kind of easy, its time length needs to be longer.
