Does the SAT reallu predict college grades?

<p>I just can't make a connection between the SAT test and the college environment. It's not like in college, everyone has 5 minutes to do as many multiple choice critical reading questions as they can.</p>

<p>Maybe someone else knows what exactly it is about the SAT that makes it "predict" college freshman grades.</p>

<p>The SAT is a test; college has tests. The SAT tests critical reading skills, writing skills, and mathematics skills; college requires critical readkng skills, grades on writing skills, and (in some cases) tests mathematics skills.</p>

<p>Obviously, it’s not a perfect predictor; nothing is.</p>
