You're not supposed to study for standardized tests. They're meant to measure aptitude, not achievement. If you have to study (as opposed to familiarizing with question types and formats), maybe a specialized high school is not for you.

So are the kids in eNY, since you put it that way.

The kid’s parents probably should have prevented him from making that comment in a public forum

It will be there FOREVER. My best hope is he’ll grow up to be embarrassed by it.

Perhaps the solution here is not to ration high quality education to a select few schools accessible only by a competitive exam
