<p>I agree with stbs in that SAT does measure intelligence. In fact, I think SAT is more of an indicator of your IQ than how well you’ll do in college.
i.e.
I’ve seen many intelligent but lazy people get 2200+. However, I have yet to see any non-smart person get a 2200+ (who may be very driven, but simply wasnt born as intelligent). By non-smart I mean the type of people who have to bottle up the info before they can comprehend (while the smarter people understand the conceps and can apply them elsewhere).
