[quote=Anonymous]I would disagree that they are "totally different" - and in fact there should be some overlap.

For good performance on the SAT, you can't just rely on test prep - one also needs solid foundations in the basics and core curriculum - particularly, strong math skills, strong language skills - things that should have major overlap in other areas such as DC-CAS - it's no surprise that poor proficiency on DC-CAS and other assessments also is then an indicator later reflected in PSAT and SAT scores in many schools.

Think about it - if students are lacking strong reading and language skills, they will struggle in every subsequent subject matter course - History, Science and others will depend on strong reading comprehension skills.  Science depends heavily on strong math skills.  Each class needs to build on what was previously taught, yet we seem to be approaching it with cognitive dissonance, as though each is taught in a vacuum, watered down and filled with fluff in some misguided attempt to deal with unfulfilled learning prerequisites.[/quote]
