Performance in college is more strongly correlated to high school courses and grades and subject matter tests (like AP and SAT subject) than SAT and ACT.

IQ is not quite the same, of course. Of course, different IQ tests tend to measure different definitions of IQ. IQ as defined by a single generic test may correlate better to SAT and ACT. But actual college performance is more relevant.
