<p>The IQ test was meant to predict school 1-12 performance
The SAT is supposed to measure high school performance/predict college performance
they are going to be similar, but not exactly the same
It is going to be harder for someone with lower IQ to score well on the SAT, just like it may be harder for them to be valedictorian
However, SAT is more highly correlated with IQ than grades are
in many ways, since it is supposed to measure the same thing as IQ test, isn't it a different version (maybe the least accurate) of an IQ test?
Also, I believe you can study for IQ, like any other test it has a few basic question types and a format to become familiar with, you can use strategies on the "turn an object in space" questions just like you can on SAT and learn "tricks"
Also, you need things you learned in school to do well on IQ test, "what comes next in the pattern" questions require adding, subtracting, and sometimes multiplying and dividing, which is newly learned material for a second grader, coming up with words requires vocabulary, just like is tested on the SAT, but in a different way ( one that requires more working memory and creativity)
SAT is part IQ and part school studying, school studying being largely based on a combo of IQ and work
IQ is using some basic tools that they teach you in school and seeing how much you can use them, how far you can take them
both require working memory, spatial reasoning, pure calculating ability, and some pattern recognition, etc.
SAT adds in memorization of a few school facts and is taken at an age when you understand how to prepare
You can study for both IQ tests and SAT tests, just IQ is taken when you're 8, so you don't really study for it unless your parents are obsessive
this is what I think, I love to debate*</p>
