- ryan93 4y agono one does. there are orders of magnitude more studying for the SAT and studying for the sat has a marginal benefit for many
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoEurope doesn't use SAT. I concede most people don't actively train for IQ tests, especially not people who only have to do it once. But one can't exactly claim "IQ tests are flawless measures of IQ" when they can be trained and gamed, which is the point.
- ryan93 4y agoBut the scores that psychologists use in their studies weren’t collected from people who trained for the IQ exam. Almost impossible to find out what they ask on exams since they are sold directly to practitioners.
