[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if I buy the argument about SAT scores being more predictive than GPA of success in college. There are lots of kids who take large numbers of APs and do very well on the tests but who do not test as well on the SAT/ACT. As far as grade inflation goes, there are lots of kids at my child's high school who receive Bs in the class but then get 4s/5s on the exams. Teachers want very high pass rates on the exam and often make the class harder than the test. I am not sure that is true in the majority of high schools though. I think the SAT and ACT can be predictive of success in the absence of better markers, like proven success in a strong college prep curriculum.[/quote] Thats's the great thing about peer reviewed research, your gut instinct doesn't matter.[/quote]
