At the extreme, I can be taught to identify metadata in the test and use that to answer the question. E.g., if the question begins with "Why ..." the answer is 95% (c). If the question is an inequality with an irrational number than answer is almost always (b).
Princeton Review was particular good at teaching metadata identification in helping to "guess" when you didn't know the answer.

Incidentally, independent (i.e., not funded by Kaplan) investigations of test prep centers show minimal effect on performance. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124278685697537839.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124278685697537839.html
