| MDMAlliance said: The SAT isn't really a good measure of intelligence. Especially if you grew up in an area that didn't educate you properly, you would end up with a lower score than if you were taught better. Your actual intelligence would be the same but you would get a better score. Plus, correlation does not imply causation anyway. |
I think studies have shown that SAT scores are poor predictions of how well you do in college. At best, they can predict 1st semester performance, but they're way off when predicting the entire undergrad performance. Not to mention, the SAT is more of a test of taking tests than a test of intelligence.
