[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what goes on in Fairfax County. If you can prep to pass the test for "giftedness", thest test probably is measuring something other than giftedness. Http://youngscholarscircle.com/gifted_placement[/quote] I think some of these companies doing prep are selling snake oil. You can't actually meaningfully increase someone's IQ or cognitive ability through test prep. If anything it's probably more about acclimating them to the types of questions and maybe some strategies, which might yield some marginal gains... But you certainly will not see people going from 95 to 145.[/quote]
