Actually, for a variety of mostly politically correct reasons, the SAT questions were changed so that they correlate much less to IQ today than they used to. Getting a 1600 (Verbal + Math only) used to be a really big deal and a virtual lock into any selective school including the Ivies and Stanford. Now there are thousands of students performing at this level (as opposed to a handful per test). One of the most famous changes made toward this end was the elimination of analogies (even after class biased words like "regatta" were eliminated) in the verbal section. Analogies simply tracked too closely to intelligence rather than achievement, so they were done away with.
