Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion What does the SAT really measure?

The SAT is still "A Good Intelligence Test" http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebat...tter/the-sat-is-a-good-intelligence-test , but the College Board can't say that for political reasons. It is supposed to predict success in college, and it does. You can look at college graduation rates vs. SAT Math+Verbal scores in Table 6 of the "Completing College" report at http://heri.ucla.edu/DARCU/CompletingCollege2011.pdf .
