[quote=Anonymous]It's simple, really. If your test is formulaic or follows any discernible pattern, people will crack the code and figure out ways to prep for what was supposed to be a novel test. Likewise, if the test creators are lazy and re-use questions, then they're aiding those who prepare. None of this is cheating, but it's going to be advantageous to those with the means to prep. Also, people of all colors will cheat if they are given the opportunity and think they'll get away with it. The best solution for both TJ and AAP would be to make up a completely new test every single year that isn't based on some specific type of problem or style of question. If one year, the questions are ACT-like, the next year, they're more like logic puzzles, the next year, more like the SAT, the following year, more like AMC math competitions and so on, it would be much harder for people to game the system. But, this would take a ton of effort.[/quote]
