[quote=Anonymous]If becoming a good standardized test taker was critical to future SAT, ACT, AP etc. success wouldn't the wealthy and powerful, who commonly enroll their children in pricey independent schools, be clamoring for their children to take Common Core linked-tests like the PARCC? The fact is, the rich don't bother with the time-wasting annual standardized tests public school students are forced to take, or anything like them. They've opted out as a class. Their kids generally take 2-3 hour entrance examinations for middle and/or high school, and that's about it before the SAT, possibly the PSAT. It's nonsense that 8-11 years need to start practicing for the SAT. It's like saying, you can't become a good driver if you wait until age 16 to get behind the wheel, you need to start driving many years earlier.[/quote]
