Default Re: relationship between SAT scores and intelligence?

I didn't say that someone who aces the exams at Iowa State could also ace the exams at Harvard. I said that we can't conclude that an A- at Iowa State was easier than an A- at Harvard.

You acknowledged that they may not be comparable in content. What can that possibly mean for a maths couse if one is not significantly easily than the other, and what can that mean if being able to ace the harder one doesn't imply being able to ace the easier one?

Your conclusion can only follow if the non-comparable part of the course is not examioned at all.
