[quote=Anonymous][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] I bet today she would test dumb (on any IQ test) and not have the scores she posted in the 7th grade. Life style, drugs and alcohol over time may affect gene expression (DNA) -- vanishing neuronal pathways. :D [/quote]
