SAT score is known to be predictive of college grades. Is it also predictive for whether a mid-to-late career candidate will pass a phone screen? It is used for early career candidate filtering in finance, but I have not heard of anybody caring beyond that because of the availability of signal on the actual tasks they will be performing.

It is correlated tightly with IQ, so yes it will likely be a strong predictive signal for passing a phone screen.

Maybe Maths, but english is probably not correlated tightly with IQ as it is more affected by language background and education.

No, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics) English and math has a 0.64 correlation.

The answer is probably no. I got many friend they got good marks in SAT, but they were average.
