> Look at standardized testing in the USA (SAT, ACT) - there is tons of coaching and preparation specific to the test that isn't training anyone on the material. Instead, we know how much time to spend per question, how to quickly eliminate possible answers on a multiple choice to improve odds when guessing, what patterns in the language a question exist, etc.

I wonder what's the value of all that coaching. How many extra points can someone score thanks to coaching?

Also, the SAT is extremely well documented, especially when test prep books are available for almost free.
