I personally find the standardized tests to be a bit off there IMO as well. Though they can often give a general gauge of a person's ability, they are also far from perfect.

This is coming from me who was once known as a person who excelled on those things - but I find many to be brilliant and certainly very very smart people who don't get as high of a score they probably could sometimes in part due to not having a tutor to prep for the test or other situations (they may simply not be good test takers.)

I find it too simplistic to grade people simply by a standardized test. There are too many other factors in education and indeed in a person themselves.
