"SAT scores are highly correlated with wealth"
Isn't this kinda obvious?
I mean, if you have parents that can teach you stuff or pay someone to teach you additionally to the stuff you learn at school you'll always fare better.
I don't think there can be a way to measure any kind of aptitude independently from your upbringing. We don't need better tests, we need to help parents to raise better children.
