I assume you've written on this before, and if so please point me towards it, but: how is it that SAT scores can change so drastically with a bit of practice and still be considered an accurate measure of IQ? On your old site you said your score changed by about 200 points between your first and second attempts, I believe. So is your IQ 118 or 131?

It's mentioned on the site you reference that Mensa considers SAT scores from after Jan 31, 1994 to no longer correlate with an IQ test.

Can you do this for the GRE? I would assume the GRE is more accurate at the high end, since the average graduate entrant will be 1-2 SD smarter than average (depending on subject). Breaking out verbal and math GRE would be helpful. Thank you

Could this table be made available somewhere in tabular or textual format?

You might have used the wrong ACT-SAT conversion, because 29 ACT, for example, predicts around 1340 on the SAT according to the ACT official site, whereas you have 1370.
