> Predictors for a school to apply?

First, it was suggested that this test should be used for programming job interviews. Second, why would a school who teaches programming care if students had programming ability? If you answer it is because the school wants to maintain a reputation of producing good programmers (hence adding value to the students' resumes), it contradicts your statement that this test is a better predictor than a resume. Otherwise, people would just study algebra instead of going to that school.
