Perhaps you should read the article rather than using the title as a springboard to comment. This is a great article, well researched and aptly presented. I really had to set aside my expectations of Slate. If this is the kind of balanced article they are presenting they are doing a excellent job of presenting the facts palatable to the audience or not.

My first post was not a reply to the original poster but to those who just dismissed the predictive value of the SAT based on anecdotal evidence and didn’t read the article. Sorry about any confusing and thanks for posting the article.

I agree with you, Jay. It's actually a very good article, and reinforces the point that tests like the SAT and ACT aren't perfect indicators of success, but do a pretty good job of measuring aptitude for higher education.
