But into what categories are they sorting? What if they are mostly measuring who is good at taking a test?
At my kids high school, they were in a program where they got to write a whole bunch of practice tests. From test-to-test, they did better and better. Some of the tests were close enough in time that their knowledge didn’t significantly change, but their scores improved. I attribute that to learning answers to questions that pop up frequently and to being less anxious after writing the nth practice exam.
Both of my kids did great at the tests eventually.
