I can still vividly remember seeing final exam questions as novel problems, regardless of how you think they weren’t.

Someone who scored 1300 is statistically more likely to get a PhD than someone who scores 1000. If you want to narrow the range down to 1300-1400 the difference will not be as significant as the social/cultural difference that may apply, as has been mentioned in many posts, but I am speaking of significant statistical predictors. Exceptions do not invalidate a rule.

Actually, SAT scores are not a very good predictor of academic success. SATs are not a very valid measure (using the term validity in a technical way) of much other than how a person does on an SAT test.
