[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the questions being studied in advance are so similar that only a few words have been changed, it is essentially the same as seeing the test itself.

[b]Someone who has studied the questions on several practice tests is exhibiting a different kind of intelligence than someone who can look at a puzzle or problem for the first time and solve it quickly. [/b]It illustrates one area of intelligence to be able to study and memorize how to solve a type of problem; the person who looks at problem s/he has never seen before and solves it quickly and easily is exhibiting a different area of intelligence.

Memorizing the work of another is different from doing working out one's own answers. A person can be trained to remember long lists of unrelated items, but that is different than working out a solution when presented with a problem. In adult life, we sometimes have to deal with problems that have never been dealt with before. Those who can think for themselves and provide answers in complex situations can lead the way for others. One can't always fall back on a solution that worked in the past; we need people who think on their feet and innovate.
