[quote=Anonymous]Preparing for a subject test by studying notes and class materials is one kind of "prep." Preparing for a standardized test by understanding the directions and working a few sample questions is another kind of "prep." Preparing for a standardized test by doing hours and hours of old tests and learning the "tricks" of answering the questions is a third kind of "prep." It is only the third kind that people object to because it doesn't seem to be the type of preparation the test makers expect the test takers to have had. The test then becomes a measurement of something it was not meant to measure and the results don't necessarily mean what they appear to mean. If the test writers have to constantly change the test because people are preparing in ways the test writers consider inappropriate, it will cost the school districts more money to purchase the tests, which will end up costing us, the tax payers, more in the long run.[/quote]
