Note that prepping is not taking the test over and over to exhaust the bank of questions. Prepping is taking “like” tests based on the interpretation of a third party on what concepts and format are relevant. [/quote]

Right. This applies to enrolling at testing sites that “prep” AND going through practice tests w/ parents to understand why the right answer is correct and learning to apply that concept to other similar questions. [b]It’s not how their brain actually interprets the question to arrive at the answer un-coached. That’s what this test is intended to show[/b]. [/quote]

So now you’re an expert on how brain interprets questions! [/quote]

No, I have a basic understanding of how aptitude tests work, which quite a number of you are clearly lacking. [/quote]

It’s very basic, that’s for sure!

Although you claim to know how brain interprets questions, the intent of the test, the retesting validity and so on. I’m wondering what your credentials are that make your expertise so relevant.

Prepping does increase the scores, some of it from being familiar with the format, some from actually having a better understanding of the concept through learning. None constitute cheating. Take for example sorting based on a characteristic, you seem to be fine if this is learned at home using legos, but it’s a big no-no if the student explores sorting through a paid third party service that may be designed to match typical wisc sorting questions.
