[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the 1970s and 80s, kids were told that they couldn't/shouldn't study for the SAT. That it was a measure of their innate ability.

Look how far we've come.[/quote]

No one I know has ever been told this. This is a knowledge test. OF COURSE you should prep.

The SAT was created in the 1920s and was a modified version of an Army IQ test.[/quote]

And today it's nothing like that...[/quote]
For a long time, the Scholastic Aptitude Test was considered an aptitude test, as a PP noted, until Kaplan showed them otherwise.[/quote]

Since then, they've changed it multiple times and it's very different from the test it used to be.  They even changed the name to Scholastic Assessment Test then eventually to just SAT.  Just as prepping broke the SAT, prepping is breaking the Cogat and eventually they will do away with it.  This hurts gifted URMs who will be undiscovered.  But why should families who prep care about other gifted kids?  [/quote]
Yes, SAT evolved and its preparation materials are now freely available on Khan Academy and other online sources which makes it accessible to all kids, including talented URMs. Transparency and equal access are important.[/quote]
