Correlation != Causation

Do you have a citation for the causation that you seem to strongly imply?

The article I linked above has a bunch of the sources you want if you read it.

More importantly, why use the SAT when your highschool grades are more accurate? This is what I'm really annoyed about! Why put everyone though a stressful test when your grades are more accurate?

Meaning what?

Meaning that if you have money you will get a better score than if you don't. If that's not a problem to you then fine but I think its a little messed up.

Is it just owning the money which grants you a better score? In that case that's the problem indeed. But if you think that investing money in your or your kids development is a problem I tend to disagree. That's the whole point of having money.

I understand what your trying to say but paying for a tutor to specifically train you for the SAT is not giving your child a better education. (Well it kind of is because they'll get into a better college from a better SAT score but training for the test itself doesn't really make you more educated)

If if just getting a better education gives you a better score on the SAT then that is a "problem" impossible to fix. However, teaching kids tips and tricks to do better on the SAT would have minimal effect on their actual intelligence. That right there is the main problem: Preparing for the SAT has no substantial increase in intelligence but does make it seem like you do.

I don't have much time when I'm writing this so if your confused by something just ask

I see your point now, and I do agree with it. Sorry, but it was rather difficult to get it from the original message.

Hey thanks for reading it! I thought it was a misunderstanding! (I'm sometimes not very clear)
