[quote=Anonymous]Also the prep is very different. Standardized test prep— for the SAT, PSAT, GRE, LSAT, or other generalized tests— is very specific. Kids drill the questions so they know what to expect. And there are a few strategies to learn too: how to skip and when; what possible answers can be eliminated immediately (this changes with position in the test). Test prep for more specific knowledge tests isn’t too far from that, but also involves some teaching-to-the-test. As you can tell from what private schools do, a good strategy is to prepare for the SAT, etc when high stakes tests like that come up. Spending 10 days on the PARCC in third grade is a waste of time.[/quote]
