> Of course, there were a lot of false positives from people who took prep courses and worked their asses off (but, as a former princeton review tutor, I never saw more than a 100 point gain in any student no matter how hard they worked - and most were lucky to get 50 points).
Is that a "false positive" from a school's point of view? The goal is to predict who will do well in college. You can do well in college by being smart (quick comprehension, good memory, good brain for math, etc.) or by studying hard.
