Pretty much. I remember in high school all teachers tried to do (for the college prep students) was prepare them fro the SAT/ACT and crap like that and teach them "how to test". I'm in college and it's funny watching the HS kids come in because they are fucking clueless about shit they learned 3 months earlier. I remember a kid confused as hell asking the professer about order of operations. Yet somehow this kid actually tested into the college level math classes.
