[quote=Anonymous] [/quote] Yes, and this explains the steps FCPS and Riverside took to deal with this: Here's a link to a FCPS document that includes an explanation of why the test was changed last year: http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/pdfs/FAQre2012CustomizedCogAT.pdf See fourth paragraph, first sentence: "FCPS staff members chose to administer the custom form of the CogAT this year after it came to our attention that some students, in previous years, had prepared for the CogAT [b]using the exact form[/b] of the CogAT being administered in FCPS." [/quote] THIS was the problem -- not that students had prepared, but that they used the exact form and had the exact same questions on the test that they practiced ahead of time. That does go beyond prepping/studying and is more like sneaking a copy of the exam ahead of time.[/quote]
