[quote=Anonymous][quote]Similarly, test prep for the AAP entrance exam by obtaining "the exact form of the test" by any means will severely impact the ability to measure the intelligence out of the test. Just like me throwing the football in a hurricane. I can not know how far I threw the ball, and the county can not know how much of the score was from intelligence, and how much is from prepping. (and how much was from ADD, distractions, puppies, etc). [b]What the county is trying to measure is raw capability,[/b] not work ethic. They get that in the GBRS. And a high score on the CogAT does not make your kid smarted. It will not lead to more money. How will the county deal with this? The will ignore test scores. They will have no choice. Oh, and the county is the source on appropriate behavior in a county administered exam.[/quote]

Go to the farm or zoo in Papua New Guinea if you are trying to measure raw capability, if you can.  There's nothing raw to measure in a County full of schools, tutors, camps, summer schools and digital computers.  You must be kidding.  Don't you know any raw measure is biased from all these confounders?  Peyton knows this and he still works hard and preps at the age of 4 and 40.[/quote]
