Companies Want Your SAT Scores

Talk about never escaping your past. It turns out that years of hard work, a good college GPA, and internships may be moot if you did not ace the math section. A report by The Wall Street Journal found that major companies, from Goldman Sachs to Boston Consulting Group, still use SAT scores to gauge the quality of various applicants. However, while companies may find there is a need to use the scores to whittle down potential employees, there is little proof that high SAT scores translate to a good worker, and the College Board says the test is mainly designed in order to ascertain the first-year college aptitude of a student.
