It’s wrong to prepare for some tests. Cogat. The old TJ test.

At the risking of opening up an old can of worms, I've never understood this line of reasoning. Is it better to be unprepared than to be prepared, for anything?

If I'm going to be tested, I want to do as well as I can. Knowing the format of the test and the type of content it addresses seems like an obvious aspect of preparation to undertake. If it's a timed test, then practicing to get a feel for how quickly I need to work also makes sense.

Don't athletes, musicians, actors practice before a tryout? Don't students study before a class exam? Don't job candidates prepare for interviews? [/quote]

This was exactly my point too. Preparation shows determination, dedication, willingness to learn and grow, and shows the kid will be successful.[/quote]

How do the kids know to prepare for the cogat or how to do?

Same for TJ - how are they signing up for these prep programs?
