There is no better predictor. Hurt feelings and the woke must ignore the data.

If 54% of 16 to 74 year olds can't read at a 6th grade level, we can't be surprised when those people are less likely to obtain careers.

Yes there is. High school performance.

But this back and for is so is not is so is not probably should end, so I won't participate again just to say "is not".

You can google it for yourself, and if you avoid information produced by the owners of the SAT, CollegeBoard, you'll find the truth.

SAT is not even among the top 3 predictors of college success:

Grade inflation. Easier classes, easier schools. The SAT is a great comparison tool.

The SAT has data on literally millions of students over decades.

The only reason to deny this is to push equity policies or because of hurt feelings. Or to eliminate testing so your high school doesn't look like garbage objectively. Meanwhile standardized test just showed most adults can't read well, quick kill the test to solve the problem!

Sort of like killing covid tests so there are no more cases.
