[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What is being said is that "test prep," defined as doing standardized test questions over and over again ... can enable one to increase one's test score, but not necessarily one's overall intelligence. [/quote] The standardized tests administered to kids in ES seem to entail a lot of pattern recognition/matching problems. Wouldn't repeated exposure to such problems generally improve the brain's ability to recognize and manipulate similar patterns? The assertion that practicing for such as test only has an effect on the test score needs to be substantiated. [/quote]
