好像是在为标考说话。文中说
“The good news is that standardized tests expressly designed to measure cognitive ability are an efficient way to do so. They are accurate, inexpensive, resistant to coaching and demonstrably unbiased against minorities, women or the poor. Those conclusions about the best cognitive tests are among the most exhaustively examined and replicated findings in all social science.“
就算其他part都对,大家也早就知道,标考做不到文中标榜的这些。 我看到的还正相反:标考不但可以训练,而且很多数理最尖的学生标考不是最好的。国内理科竞赛高手里文科弱的有相当一帮人,高中阶段因为文科要花太多时间而耽误了理科上的进步。
