It is very likely there is a good correlation between your (Math) SAT score and your ability to code. But there is a much better correlation between a sample of your code and your ability to code. This is why tech companies like Google and Facebook don't bother to ask you for your SAT (or equivalent standardized testing) scores.
In an opinion piece in The New York Times today, a Harvard alumnus argues that the SAT helped her gain admission into Harvard where she developed the skills to become a professional programmer. Unfortunately, there are key pieces of information missing from the article
First, what was the author's high school GPA? One assumes it must have been good or else she wouldn't have gotten into Harvard. Second, what high school(s) did she attend? Was it an affluent high school(s)? We do know she was taking AP courses her sophomore year, a sign of academic proficiency. Third, what was the economic status of her parents and/or foster parents while she was growing up?
The latter two are especially relevant because there is extensive evidence that the SAT heavily favors the economically advantaged, and it could be that the author is another example of this.
