I don't encourage 'practicing' for any test used similarly to an IQ test,

The SAT is useful even though there is much more preparation material available now than 40 years ago. Ideally other tests used for selection would be similarly robust.
I know we disagree on this but the SAT is currently an achievement test and has been for many years. The custom in the US is currently to study for the SAT and the publishers of the test are in the test prep business as well. When the publishers of CoGat publish test prep books and post them on their website Ill know that things have changed.
I don't think that you want to encourage testmakers to be as tricky as the SAT writers particularly with elementary school age kids.
That robustness comes with a high cost both literally in test design and in oddness of the test.
