I never thought the SAT was worth much. My own scores were in the top fraction of a percentile, but my college grades were pretty abysmal. My older sister's scores were so low that she had to go to college in Canada; no decent American school would consider her. She held a 4.0 average through 4 years at McGill. Motivation and discipline have a lot more to do with academic performance than anything a test can measure. Not that academic performance is an infallible predictor of real-life achievement, but that is another story altogether.
