[quote=Anonymous]No one is saying studying in general is a bad thing. One does not grow up without training to be a scientist. However, studying should be for the long term goal. There is no way to study for the CogAT and NNAT; you can prep for them by doing repeated practice tests (which some people do). That does not have long-term benefit. On the other hand, puzzles, logic games, reading, exploring (we are talking about 7 and younger kids) can both help on the test (by improving capabilties), and have a long term benefit. For example, I am a very good standardized test taker. Using logic, I can often find a unique set of consitant answers. In college, once or twice, I used that approach to ace exames without knowing the materal. [/quote]
