It is actually worse.

it is known that areas which got access to a formal education (schools), would get quickly much better average IQ score than before.

If just visiting school increases your IQ (some measurements suggest 14 points), then it is clearly not a fundamentale quality.

So even without specifically learning for the test, you can learn for the test.

    Yeah, haha, the most useful predictive metric for how a person will generally turn out in life, socioeconomically, that I am aware of... is still the zipcode you grew up in.

    For any non USAsians, thats the post code, the fairly granular level 'what town/city/neighborhood did you grow up in'.

    Whole lotta Nurture against the innate Nature of your genes or whatever.
