I had a 4.3 GPA. Now, I transferred, and I'm taking college courses as a high school student. I maintained a 4.0 GPA. Therefore, this shows that there is no GPA inflation in my high school. Though, I have low SATs scores: 1700s. How can this be?

Therefore, I'm not actually that smart?

I'm the opposite. My GPA for UC's is 4.0, for Cal States is 3.8, and for Private Schools is 3.6.
While my SAT scores are 2150.
SAT scores don't show a student's intelligence. They merely show the student's ability to memorize information and to catch the tricks the "College Board" throws at him or her.

Musiq, you're dead wrong. The SATs are a very good indicator of intelligence, and your grades are a good indicator of how well you can memorize pointless crap.
Look at the graphs below and you can see a very strong correlation between SAT score and IQ.

It is grade inflation - which is pervasive in the system!
