[quote=Anonymous]I think it is funny that someone out there is posting frequently lately that some people are "secretly" prepping with tutors at home that no one knows about.  They seem to be
1) hoping that if you say it often enough, people will accept that it is true, and, 
2)they know that it is difficult for anyone to prove this wrong, since it is such a big "secret." I can say that I don't know anyone who does this, but someone can come back and say, "Well, you wouldn't know, because it is secret!"

The fact is, though, that I have never heard of anyone hiring a private tutor to secretly come to the home to prep a child for the AAP tests. No way to prove it doesn't happen, of course, but it sounds patently ridiculous.

We do know that classes exist specifically for prepping for these tests. Many of us have seen the ads for classes and or materials. I would not use these services myself as I think it is inappropriate because it changes the result of a test when kids have already seen the types of questions ahead of time and spent time practicing how to do them.

You don't really learn anything about how well a child processes new information when they have already seen the same type of information in advance.
