[quote]If more difficult questions are included, the test preparation will not work. Most 7-8 year old kids will not have the abstract reasoning skill to solve them, even with teaching. But the [b]trully advanced[/b], who suppose to be 2-4 years above age level, as defined, will be able to.[/quote]

That's the problem the bureaucrats, pseudo educational experts, do not have a glue what the results of the tests in question mean or measure.  Afterall, isn't the goal to identify the trully advanced students and not the pseudo-advanced students.  When more than 1/2 of the County is only  pseudo-advanced than you run into the problems they are faced with...parents who think their kids are gifted and trully advanced.

A prohibition on prep or practising the questions has absolutely nothing to do with which kids are trully advanced.  And housewifes and husbands crying about unfair advantages kids gain from hardwork,  studying, and preparation is a red herring.  The County is finding this out the hard way.
