Yeah I meant more than it is very easy to go from the 400-500's range to the 600-700's range with SAT prep. Especially on the writing section -- they only test on 20ish grammar rules, many of which are subtle and wouldn't necessarily be noticed without prep.
As a former SAT prep teacher, I'm very excited to learn about Khan Academy's partnership with the College Board. Previously, success on the SAT seemed to depend solely on how much money was spent on SAT prep. Glad to hear that the College Board is interested in leveling the playing field.
I have a hunch that it's going to be about getting useful and relevant information out of big data. Analyzing 'Big Data' using techniques from machine learning is getting a lot of hype, as it is starting to prove itself as a powerful predictive tool. Companies that will be big in the future will take advantage of these techniques to solve major problems in education, healthcare, robotics, etc.
