Shuto-uke 02/15/18 8:12:38 AM #4:	Maybe decades ago when nobody prepared for these tests and they were kind of new. Now theyre simply tests that measure how good you are at test taking and how well you have prepared for the SAT or whatever. I have heard of rich kids that literally take off a year to go through this course several times: https://www.kaptest.com/sat Imagine having a private SAT tutor too, some people do it. Somebody like that would probably do better than a legit smart guy whos taking the test for the first time and has to work a part time job too. <cite>Shuto-uke posted [p:896124845] in Do you thi...

EndOfDiscOne 02/15/18 8:44:33 AM #12:	Shuto-uke posted... how good you are at test taking I'd say there's intelligence involved in being a good test taker. There's some skill in picking up patterns in the questions on tests. That's not to say that poor test takers aren't smart; they could still be smart in different areas. --- I am the Cheese!
