6. Success in life is also more a function of the parents' involvement

As are grades in high school, attendance, and good civil behavior. The fact is, parents are, without hesitation, the most important predictor of how kids will do in school -- and life. Not remotely fair to kids from single (or no) family homes.

But such is life. If you come up with a better model than a stable nuclear family, do tell.

The ACT/SAT are, by no means, perfect tests.

But there is a giant correlation between how well you do on those tests and how well you do in college.
