[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a joke. If the test scores can be improved through studying or taking practice tests, then *by definition* the test is not one that measures innate ability. Moreover, many very smart kids don't do well on timed/multiple choice tests, no matter how smart they are. Smarter even than the kids who ace the test first try. The idea that the CoGAT measures "true giftedness" is naive and uninformed. I assume all of you parents with your knickers in a knot about taking practice tests for the CoGAT will not be buying review books for the SAT or sending your kids to prep classes when the time comes. Standardized tests in many ways are best at measuring one variable: the student's ability to take standardized tests.[/quote] This.[/quote]
