[b]Ok and what about the numerous gifted kids who haven’t been exposed to the type of curriculum that would allow them to get a high score on the SAT in 7th grade[/b]. Yes, a 7th grader who scores well on the SAT is probably gifted, but they probably also have parents who are very diligent about providingthem with enrichment and top notch educational opportunities. Nor the same as having innate ability. [/quote]

Well, that's why they accept IQ scores also. And there's evidence that high-end SAT achievement is fairly highly correlated with IQ, especially if taken at a young age. Cogats and NNats have poor norming at the high end and they are comparatively easy to prep.  [/quote]

This.  Most tests have too low of a ceiling to differentiate between a 140 and a 150.  On NNAT and CogAT, the difference between a 140 and a 150 is one correct answer.  Even the WISC has some pretty severe ceiling effects if a kid maxes out any section.  The ACT and SAT might not be IQ tests, but when a 12 year old takes them, the ceiling is very high.  There's a lot of room above the 99.9th percentile, and it would take more than a single right answer to swing the score that much for those kids.    [/quote]
