[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True. I doubt we are peers, not because of your perceived SES status, but because of your idiocy. I do not maintain friendships with anyone who believes, in this day and age, that AAs deserve a crutch simply for being AA. How can you possibly even defend that position? 
As for your premise, you agree that the test is about logic. So then can you explain what you are disagreeing with when I stated that the test is about logic? What you seemed to not understand is the (rephrased) statement: there is no reason for intelligent kids to do poorly on the SAT since it is a test of logic. Intelligent people naturally possess logic, though it certainly can be trained in when you don't have it. With or without test prep, kids in a selective admission school shouldn't be scoring this low. FWIW, I scored well into the 30s on my MCAT without test prep. Unlike the LSAT, the MCAT is heavy on applied knowledge in conjunction with logic and critical thinking. The test prep argument just doesn't cut it.[/quote]

So again, if test prep makes no difference, why do people spend so much money on it.  I took a bar review class and I learned how to answer the question.  Great, you didn't take a test prep and did well.  I don't know ANYONE who does that.  In high school, every single kid I knew had a private SAT tutor.

Who said it was a crutch?  I think the problem is growing up poor.  I don't think the SAT has anything to do with intelligence.  It's a test.  If that was the case, why don't any studies support that?  Man, sometimes I really wise we could say who we really are when posting.

I am finished with you.  You are clearly someone that I would never want to befriend.  Go forth, and be a jerk.  Do you even know any black people?  If you do, did you meet them at Clarence Thomas' house?[/quote]
