Because his official education ended in the fourth grade, the marks eased some of his anxiety about passing muster at Yale.

"Must of had some awesome SAT scores. WTF?"

more likely he's doing the "football player" curriculum, ie---being provided with the answers to tests in advance, and given good grades even if he fails to memorize the right answer.

Of course, you have to realize that the average grade and Harvard now is very close to straight A's. They give out no C's and very few B's. Recently, there was a bit of a problem because the president of Harvard complained about the weakness of the grading system. The problem has been solved however (the president, Summers, has put in his resignation, effective for a few months from now. The actual incident that caused him to be removed (straw that broke the camel's back) was that he said the reason there are so few women achieving in science might be genetic.)
