[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's funny how we keep getting back to the advertising phrases that test prep businesses use to sell their products. Interesting.[/quote] It is even funnier that some believe it is ethical (even laudable) for an athlete to train and prepare for a test but unethical for a student to train and prepare for a test to improve physical or mental performance. [/quote] Studying improves test performance. It's not really a hard concept to grasp. Although Michael Phelps may have been a poor example, a talented athlete does need to train to improve performance. The same goes for academics. I had a childhood friend who was truly brilliant. She aced every math exam. I think she scored like 1500+ on her SATs when she was in 7th grade. She blew off high school and barely got into college. Til this day she doesn't have a college degree and is now a bartender.[/quote]
