Related skills that are useful outside the limited form the standardized test takes. To take a practical example, if you wanted to get a group of kids to get best high marks in my high-school CS final exams, it'd been very effective to have them drill a a few standard sorting algorithms and a pile of formal definitions, so they are certain to be able to perfectly reproduce them from memory when prompted. But I'm fairly sure the few extra weeks of messing around with graph algorithms, despite that not being material relevant for the exams, probably were more useful for everyone in the class despite someone typoing a heapsort or not remembering how UTF-8 bit encoding works under pressure and loosing some points on that.
