I'm saying it helps the good scorers more than it hurts the average / slightly worse scorers, or so I understand.
And I think test-taking is a related skill to many useful ones, such as study skills or performance under pressure, though of course it doesn't have direct real world value.
I'm not 'arguing' anything.... I'm saying, whether we like it or not, we're being compared to people who do very well on the test, no matter how well we do. So we can say that it's a BS measure, or that it's a great measure, or w.e. But either way, some people will do awesome on it, and those are included our 'competition.'
