[quote=Anonymous][quote]The effects of prepping are overstated IMHO. [b]White and Asian, higher SES students would/do test higher even without prep. [/b]For example on the SAT, which like NNAT/CogAT is a decent proxy for IQ, the average gain from prepping is about 30 points, while the gap between average white and average black scores is about 200 points. Prepping is responsible for some of that but not most. The situation with AAP entrance exams is more likely to resemble the SAT than not. Level the playing field, and the picture wouldn't change by more than about 15%. Restrict AAP even further as you and your companeros are proposing, you'd have an even smaller proportion of black, ESOL and FARMS kids qualifying. [/quote] Wow. Just wow. Do you tell black people that you believe they are an inherently less intelligent race of humans? No? Why not? [/quote]
