[quote=Anonymous]Agreed. For example, the SAT tests a fairly simple understanding of algebra-level math, which is far from the more conceptual studies of calculus and linear algebra that many advanced high school students take. The grades that the students receive in these classes are much better indicators of ability to succeed in more advanced areas of study. The standardized tests are more useful at calibrating the school itself, and validating or disproving the student's grade performance and teacher recommendations. At the very upper end of the register (you define) you will find some correlation between acceptance rate and scores, but it is not as strong as you might think.[/quote]
