there definitely is compelling evidence out there that suggests the SAT tests absolutely nothing beyond how well you can take a test, and I hope people will at least make an effort to inform themselves about this before jumping to conclusions.</p>
<p>However, it should definitely NOT be confused with an intelligence test. College Board itself admits that the test only tests "preparedness for college" and not intelligence.

<p>Just to put these points in context, the assertion set forth that prompted this debate was that the test is biased against certain races and genders. That's a different charge than placing caveats on the utility and goals of the SAT.</p>
