In this article, the author (age >40) elaborates on her recent SAT and points out that the scores are just one part of the admissions process. However, it is important to note that some fields of study use the SAT as a measure of 'keeping up with the Joneses'. Engineering schools want high Math scores (to follow along with profs who write a dozen equations on the board); likewise, journalism schools want high verbal scores.
Because grades are subjective, the SAT is a broader indicator. Due to the absence of a national curriculum, we can think of the SAT as a unifier for a reasonable body of knowledge for high schoolers.
Studying for the SAT (or any test) can promote brain fitness at any age ;)
