[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]The SAT is an achievement test, it is not intended to be an ability test. The Cognitive Abilities Test (or CogAT) is intended to be an ability test. One may or may not believe that it is possible to measure ability, but the fact remains that that is the intended purpose of the test[/b]. The CogAT and the SAT are different types of tests and are used for different purposes.[/quote]

I sense you a coming around to the notion intent (PR) and reality have separate meanings.  Since many individuals can boost their scores significantly with a little exposure and familiarity to the test (pick your favorite "ability" [A] test) it is near impossible to prevent advance exposure to test subject concepts, domains, threads in a society increasingly dominated by knowledge (information age) with increasing socioeconomic status (SES).  Acquiring knowledge and information is powerful and not unethical.  Knowledge is everywhere and acquisition and prepping is not necessarily confined to "bricks and mortar" salons and "test" review books.  Welcome to the new age.[/quote]
