They are comparable because weight loss through diet/exercise is something that you actually have to work for.  Test prep is literally available to all students - FREE - through Kahn Academy.  Some students take advantage of it, some don't.

Cheating is not the same thing as test prep.[/quote]

If Kahn Academy test prep is equivalent, why are people paying so much for private test prep and tutors?[/quote]

EXACTLY.

Kahn is studying.

Personal test prep are the secrets, the curveballs, etc...  It is not learning. It is promising exults because they study pattens in previous tests, teach kids how to figure out standardized test questions, how to skim the passages, and so forth. It is a temporary ability to get a temporary smart looking score. And now that many colleges subscore, kids can take it 4 times and only focus on one section. They can get three 10’s and a 35 each time on a separate session and get a super score of 35. Most people can’t afford taking it once, let alone 4 times. [/quote]

Yes, this is right.  For the former video gamers out there, it is the cheat code that lets you advance a level.

That said, when the time comes, I'm going to do all these things for my kid (short of felonies, obviously).    [/quote]
