36. That is a misguided assumption to make. One of my children got an 800 in math junior year

but a 710 senior year. It turned out that on the 710 she made ONE mistake. On that particular test, with that group of test takers, missing one question dropped her score by 90 points. But it didn't make her less smart than she had been the previous year.

Also, the content of the SAT math test is lower level. For students who've gone on to Calculus one and two, they would have to brush up on the content in the SAT. It's not that they aren't as smart as the ones taking Algebra 2.
