The SAT was a very bad predictor for me, because it didn't measure one very important thing: does this person have the slightest clue how to study? As it happened, I didn't, because I'd never had to. I did my calculus homework during roll call; the only classes I even bothered taking notes in were Chemistry and Physics. As to the idea that "girls are more likely to ask teachers for help" - no, again because I'd never needed to.
I had the highest SATs of my HS calculus class by about 200 points, and I'm the only one who managed to screw up so badly; the rest of them had worked for their grades. Now I'm rather curious about how other people in my range faired; I suspect we're unpredictable.
