It's just longer, true. But it's the length that kills as well for SAT. I could do 2+2 ten times, but give me it for five hours, and I'll be bound to make a stupid mistake or get so tired or bored that I'll just drop it entirely.
I also don't know why you took it in 8th grade. Doesn't the SAT score expire after three years, just like the ACT? I've taken it once, but never bothered to send my score in. It was high, I remember that. But the ACT score really shadowed it and has been my ticket in. Of course, only for east coast schools.
