<p>With a second thought, I think IP has a good point here. Many 7 year old kids today would be considered a genius 200 years ago by what they know. The power of our brains is way underestimated, perhaps. I heard that brain is the next frontier in scientific exploration. We will know our brains better.</p>

<p>Given the SAT is no long called an aptitude test, it’s a knowledge-based test. People who didn’t learn enough or forgot what’s learned use test preps for a test, hence the market. Those who got exposed to a larger knowledge base, process information faster, and with better memories have advantages. I see lot of predetermination in these advantages. But isn’t giftedness measured by other tests nowadays, like IQ test?</p>
