[quote=Anonymous][quote]Prepping affects the reliability of the results of the individual prepped test taker, no one else. The score reflects a false result because it is no longer measuring what it is meant to gauge. It is giving an impression of the test taker that is not true.

If you want your exam to be reliable at the same point in time  then children should be appropriately sacrificed, their brains excised and put on ice to stop or arrest all activity, in order to have a fair postmortem assessment of intelligence.  That's what posters are essentially calling for with all this nonsensical talk.  You will never be able to control what neuronal exercises and activities were occurring before the sacrifice though.  And that state will affect any postmortem assay results.

You cannot artificially expect  growing and active youthful minds to stop functioning in order for you to administer some bogus test.  While some will play lacrosse the day before the test others will read, practise test "form",  and do puzzles the night before.

Face it get a valid and reliable test instead of  telling kids in school not to study or not to prepare or not to work hard. How on earth will you define each of these concepts?  How will you know what intellectual activities help or don't help (at home, at school or with your highly paid tutors)?

Find a test not susceptible to students who read, write, and are excellent in math  because students in the 21st century should be practicing these activities not halting their practise or prep.

No such test exists to date.
