[quote=Anonymous][quote]You misunderstood what the PP who took many tests is saying. You can get better at taking tests by taking more tests, but that doesn't change your intelligence. The reason for limiting the frequency of testing is they don't want the results confounded by familiarity with the test itself.

And sure, if everyone does test prep, everyone will be on equal ground, just as if no one did test prep all would be on the same equal ground. Someone who does test prep before an IQ type test will get a higher score, but the person will not be any smarter. Correctly answering questions you've been taught how to answer is very different from figuring out the process on your own. [b]The person who can figure out solutions on his or her own will always be ahead of the kids who can't figure problems out on heir own[/b].[/quote]

This is particularly true in households where mommy and daddy encourage voluminous reading in their children, doing puzzles together, building and taking apart art and constructions together, problem solving together, going out to museums and travelling the world wide to learn and experience nature's beauty!  Mommy and Daddy spend money for their children to get academic enrichment year round and put their children in wonderful summer camp experiences.  These households wring their hands striving for the best neighborhoods, schools, and peer groups for their darling children. This calculated strategic long-term process produces smarter and more intelligent children since smartness and intelligence is measured by AAP, SAT, and variety of other measures well-known to be affected by this formula.  Of course, those who create the metrics by which intelligence is measured were marinated by the same upbringing, formula and environment.[/quote]
