You are the only one that's being aggressive here. The fact is that the SAT is a very shallow test.

It takes on the order of weeks for a student to understand all of the ideas that could ever possibly show up on the math test, without resorting to crutches like elimination or measurement.

By this means, a student can go from only knowing how to solve linear equations to easily getting a perfect score on the test, very quickly. And this approach will develop problem solving skill that will serve students incredibly well in their educational careers. I've trained and taught these students.

Tricking your way through the SAT is possible and helpful as always being able to find someone else to change your tire for you. Which is to say it's possible and helpful. But there's a reason we learn to do things the right way.
