[quote=Anonymous]This is all so simple.
The CogAt is supposed to test aptitude.  If the exact questions are practiced, then it does not yield accurate results.  It is supposed to test the student's ability to figure it out for themselves.

An earlier poster mentioned test prep for the SAT.  That is quite different.  It has not been the Scholastic Aptitude Test for many, many years.  It was changed to the Scholastic ASSESSMENT Test and now it is only the SAT.  It mostly tests knowledge, reading and math skills that can be acquired through instruction.  It has many,many more questions on it than the CogAt, and it changes every year-I think.  The practice sessions can identify weaknesses that can be improved through practice and study.
Now, if the practice sessions included the exact same SAT that was being given with the exact same questions, that would be a problem.  However, that is not the practice with the SAT.

But this post makes sense. I expect accusations and personal attacks to follow shortly.
