Nothing you've said refutes my argument that exams are the most important component of a college GPA. Yes, homework can be hard, but it's rarely a plurality component of a final grade. Yes, labs can be a major component of a final grade, but they're rarely difficult enough to constitute anything more than a soft curve. > You're delusional if you think that you're gonna get a 4.0 by half-assing course work Nobody employing such a strategy was trying to get a 4.0 in the first place. In fact, setting the benchmark GPA for rigorous postsecondary education at 4.0 is itself delusional. > The SAT covers fairly basic topics that nearly every student should know, that's why it's like an IQ test Having taken two IQ tests administered by two different psychologists, I can confidently say no. The SAT does not resemble an actual IQ test. The SAT doesn't test short-term memory, and it only indirectly tests associative thinking. That said, there's probably a correlation with IQ test scores, because smart people are smart, and so they perform well at tasks designed to test intelligence... just like how being good at taking tests in high school, means you'll probably be pretty good at it in college too.
