Don’t you think a mother able to teach those classes would be in general a better test taker than the average person, and so her children likely would be too?

And nobody is denying that test scores can be raised. That’s likely a fixed amount so just amounts to constant noise. I think you’re as likely to find a way to consistently raise a 600 SAT to 1600 as you are trying to train any couch potato into an Olympic sprinter.
- scarface74 4y agoSo let’s say my mom had been a “good test taker”. But she didn’t spend anytime with me. Was always too busy to help me when I had a question, etc. Do you think I would have done as well? What are the chances that I would have chosen to be software developer coming from that same small town if my parents hadn’t bought me a fully tricked out Apple //e in 1986? Even when I was in college in 1992, most of the CS students didn’t have a computer home. By then I had a $4000 LCII set up with a $1000 laser printer and a $300 SoftPC application to run x86 compilers. My parents weren’t “rich”. My mom was a teacher and my dad was a factory worker.
