the higher the family income, on average, the higher the scores.

stronger predictors of SAT scores than family income and parental education levels.

Well, surprise, surprise. Did it ever occur to the researchers that maybe rich people are rich because they're smarter than average? Or that smart parents tend to have smart kids?

SAT scores correlate very highly with grades earned in college. In short, they do predict who will do well in college. What's wrong with that?
