Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brief coaching and preparation before an IQ test may boost test-taking skills and reduce anxiety, but it does not increase intelligence or the potential for intellectual growth. IQ scores are relatively stable across time and less affected by external factors like test preparation or coaching. Therefore, the brief coaching may have little positive effect on Tanya's IQ score.
