[quote=Anonymous][quote]There are lots of times in life when we have to choose between the ethical and the unethical. Sometimes, there might not be a rule but we have to decide on a course of action using previous and/or similar situations as a guide.

One such analogy here is that the WISC and similar tests are not to be given to students who have recently been given that test because the results are then confounded and are not reliable. [b]Doing practice tests as drills will have the same effect, thus making the resulting scores unreliable and not terribly useful. [/quote][/b]

Would my play with my children for 45 min BID (morning and evening) be considered a drill?  We play multiplication games and creative games with polygons and convex and concave shapes, different patterns (much like the Raven) word games (analogies, antonyms and synonyms).  We have been doing this activity daily for years now with ongoing escalating the difficulty.  As a family we enjoy these activities.  One of my kids told me he found WPSSI, WISC and COGAT tests so easy by comparison because all the tasks were very familiar to him.  I am wondering whether what I enjoy with my children ...theis practise, drill or prep was cheating?[/quote]
