[quote=Anonymous][quote]The specific area of concern is test prepping. Where kids essentially learn how to take the single test. For example, give a kid the same test three times, and a smart kid will do better the third time.[/quote] For example, are you suggesting that kids only take the admission entrance SAT once when they apply to College? How many times do you recommend? Will you ban 6th, 7th, and 8th graders around the country that take the ACT and SAT exams for CTY, NUMATS and DUKE TIP talent search and then again in 11th and 12th gerades when they apply to college? Some of these kids have taken the exam between 3 and 6 times before it counts for the IVY college sweepstakes. What's you view on this. Ban talent searches? Police the number of times a child takes the SAT or ACT between 4th and 12th grades? [/quote]
