I suspect it's highly correlated with reading comprehension abilities, so yes it's useful, but the SAT is more useful I think for that.

I don't know how the tests are constructed today, but IQ tests for children in the 60's were not much like SATs. There were pictorial and geometric questions that didn't involve much reading comprehension, as well as word-based questions. Pattern recognition and reasoning from patterns was an important element.
