[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"McLaughlin, like other board members, still worries about Washington’s booming test-prep industry. Modeled on Korean “cram” schools, classes meet after school, on weekends, and throughout the summer. “They’ve become professionals at that process of getting into TJ,” says Josh Silverman, a private tutor in the area."[/quote] When this goes on for years, we call it studying not test prep. There isn't enough test prepping material to fill more than 20-30 hours of instruction with test prep. Everything beyond those 20-30 hours of "process of elimination" "when and how to guess" "thinking like the test maker" etc. is substantive learning. You are learning math, you are learning logic, you are learning how to actively read.[/quote]
