The high correlation suggests that both preparation/study and raw intelligence are important in getting a high SAT score. If you sacrifice one of those two things, you'll get a low SAT score. If you have both, you'll get a high score.

- wutbrodo 5y ago> If you sacrifice one of those two things, you'll get a low SAT score. If you have both, you'll get a high score. Even this is saying too much. I know someone who literally did two or three practice tests and got just shy of a 2400 (he got every q right and lost ten pts for his essay). There's nothing on the SAT that's difficult enough to need prep for a high school junior, with the possible exception of the permutation/combination qs. Though note that this leaves a massive hole for those who are doing math at middle-school levels, which is true of a shocking fraction of the student population.
