You would think they would have some sort of direct relationship.

There is a positive correlation between IQ scores and standardized academic achievement scores, although its not as high as you would think. IQ tests and academic achievement measures (ACT, Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, SAT) assess different things. IQ is generally thought of as Aptitude, and Achievement measures are thought of direct measures of academic achievement at a single point in time. Intelligence is most definately related to the rate at which people can learn, but other factors get in the way of intelligence being perfectly related to Achievement (e.g., quality of education, opportunities to learn, expectaions and other stuff that we can account for)
They are the same in that they are extremely boring to administer and to take!
