[quote=Anonymous][quote]Because anyone who doesn't prep will most definitely end up a "poorly performing misfit." Those are the only two possibilities in life.

Fortunately, those are not our only two choices. It is perfectly possible to do well in life without test prepping, and I know plenty of people who are proof of that.

I like what I read in another thread:"People can work hard and get good grades, but you can't teach smart." [b]In other words, all the hard work in the world will get you nowhere if you don't have the intelligence underlying it. You can prep and prep kids, but if they aren't smart, they are limited as to how far they can go in the long run. [/b]If they're smart, they don't need test prepping.[/quote]

Well, imagine for a moment how worse off a limited individual would be without life-long preparation and challenge to make up for the malleable early deficits rather than degenerate.  No psychiatrist, neurologist, physical therapist, or physician would recommend quitting, giving up, and not challenging and prepping particularly if you have "limitations".  In fact, the earlier and harder one works at overcoming these limitations (physical or mental) the better the gains.  You can teach smarts just as you can teach muscles!  Give it a try.  You'll amaze yourself. :P [/quote]
