At first I thought it was difficult, but after studying and taking many practice tests after practice tests, it's really not that difficult as everyone makes it out to be.
I think if you learn the techniques, then it can really help. My reading comprehension isn't great but after taking a bunch of practice tests, I soon familiarized myself w/ what type of questions I was going to be asked. (Since they ask the same type of questions over and over) Overall, I think familiarity with the test really helped.
However, if you're not very competent in math up to algebra II or grammar rules, etc, then yes, the SAT can be very difficult.

Well, I have to say that I haven't been able to get the score that I want and I know a lot of people who hadn't either.
In my opinion, it is hard! The easiest part is probably writing, which is mainly the essay and multiple choice that ask you to correct sentences, etc.
Then comes reading, which has a vocabulary section that always frustrastes me because if I know 30% of the words is a miracle! The other section is the one that gives you the passage and some question. That part is just fine, you just need to read as fast as possible.
Last but not least, Math!... I like math and I'm pretty good at it, and as a result I never find it extremely difficult.
The only thing you can do is practice as much as you can, and I don't mean the day before, but start preparing with at least two weeks of anticipation.
Remember that the exam is timed, (and probably this will be the reason why you don't get a higher score) so hurry up but without going crazy!
Also, don't guess, you'll get points off if you do (1/3)...
Good Luck! =D

You'll be having some trouble. The test is tomorrow and you can't even formulate a simple question.

You can say "is the test hard" or "are the tests hard", but not "is the tests hard."
