[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes. of course, if a child practices the problems on this test, he or she will get better at them. No one disputes that. But it is a test of how well a child solves problems he or she has never seen before. We don't learn anything about how a child solves a new problem when the problems are all familiar to the child already.

The test problems are meant to be brand new to each child. [/quote]

What nonsense are you talking about?  Why do you think that training and practice yields improved scores?   Have you ever heard of repeating concepts, themes, and patterns that recur in math, computer science, physics, decoding and interpreting English literature?

What is a "brand new test problem" if the concept, pattern or theme tested is Newton's second law of mechanics, trigonometric identities, or angle and segment relations in triangles?  The "brand new probems" only test a limited number of patterns, concepts, themes, laws, and theorems!  Oh,  let me count the ways a "brand new problem" is served up testing one's knowledge of Newton's laws?  That my dear is why practise and training (by solving problems over and over again) improves performance and scores for all alphabet soup tests (IQ, ability, achievement, aptitude or whatever flavor of rape you wish to nuance).  Any educated person understands this simple concept.  It works for quarterbacks, golfers, musicians, artists, writers, swimmers, killer test takers and scantron number 2 pencil bubblers!
