- Retric 4y agoThat’s a sign of intelligence but not an IQ test. Extreme test preparation, unusually large vocabulary, etc played a a major role in people’s scores. It may seem strange to test “test prep” not just intelligence, but the goal is to predict success in collage. Extremely motivated students have an advantage just like extremely intelligent ones. The test would be less accurate if preparation was less effective. To be clear, I say this having gotten an extreme score not to denigrate the test.
