The first of four ground rules is that the test does not test knowledge. There is no special body of fact or opinion for the test taker to bone up on. A standardized test has no necessary content, and there is no relevant course of study to pursue. The second rule is that the test does not evaluate intelligence. Everyone knows real bozos who do well on standardized tests, and geniuses who score poorly.
Standardized tests succeed only in ranking pedestrian performances.
Be neither in your stupid, nor in your brilliant mode. The test is not a thinking test, but a reading test. Be intellectually submissive and precisely obedient to the directions, as you are in consulting the phone book. The biggest error is in not following the directions to the question. The third ground rule is that luck influences the outcome.
