[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:26 again.  BTW, I'm not sure if I totally understand or agree with your second point about "score=intelligence+preparation".  I think the people giving the test want it to be all about raw intelligence, and want any preparation (however that might be defined) to be roughly equal among all children taking the test.  However, some parents try to skew the test results by giving their children additional preparation beyond the baseline.[/quote]

You understand the point.  The county is trying to measure intelligence, but they are measuring intelligence + Prep + other factors.  THe extensive drill and practice prep on sample tests is gaming the system -- the only point of which is to make your child look smarted than they are, presumably to increase the chances for AAP.  The preppers will argue that studying is key to success...and yes it is.  Studying in school is called learning. But, studying for an IQ test is gaming the score -- it may change the score, but not the baseline.[/quote]
