[quote=Anonymous]The reality is lots of kids in this area prep for the tests and will prep for future tests. It might be in the form of prep classes, private tutors, doing worksheets at home, ixl... the list goes on. Yes, there might be some kids out there who got in cold, but far less than you would imagine. A lot of parents will claim that they didn't do anything to prepare their kids, but the kids tell a different story. As someone who grew up in a family of high achievers and has been around the "brightest" and "cream of the crop" my whole life, I see nothing wrong with preparation, whether it is to brush up on skills, become more comfortable in a testing situation, increase speed in test taking or any of a number of other reasons. Some people naturally pick up on concepts quickly while others need to study more, but all capable of producing the same quality work and excelling in these programs. It is naive to say that these programs are designed only for those who got in from "doing a few practice problems the night before, a good night's rest, and a hearty breakfast".[/quote]
