When people refer to test "prep," they are referring to what you have described as extreme, first, second, and third. Many people see what you call "fourth" as tutoring for kids who need extra help to understand what is happening in the classroom, not really test prep, although I see how it could be. The remaining categories are simply general educational enrichment, not what people consider test prep.

Google the words "test prep" and you will find all kinds of companies offering services and products that promise to raise test scores. Here's how Wikipedia is defining it: "Test preparation (abbreviated test prep) or exam preparation primarily refers to educational courses, tutoring services, and educational materials/learning tools designed to increase students' performance on standardized tests, particularly entrance examinations...."

Reading at home, playing games, doing puzzles, going to museums and historic sites with your child all add to the child's education in a positive way, but they are not test prep.
