[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APA explains it somewhat here: 
https://www.apa.org/science/programs/testing/test-security-faq
[i] The reproduction and inclusion of copyrighted test items in scholarly and scientific publications and presentations might not only be a copyright violation but may also undermine test security by potentially placing test items in the public domain, making test takers’ pre-knowledge of test items a major threat to the utility of an instrument. Indeed, it would seem that this concern should not be limited to only copyrighted measures but to any and all tests whose validity would be compromised if test takers had pre-knowledge and could thus "practice" the items.

We are agreed that it is unethical to wrongly obtain the test questions in advance. That does not mean that all preparation is therefore unethical.[/quote]

Literally no one said that “all preparation is wrong”.

You’ve beat that strawman to death.

Selective outrage, of course. If my kid prepares it is fine. If my righteous indignation can stop the other kid (specifically from a certain race who is walloping my kid), from preparing to make it easier for my kid, I will do that. [/quote]

Why are you bringing race into it?

I don’t think any parents should prep their kids for cogat or use prior questions for TJ.

That’s why we didn’t do either for our kids.

That's great. I think kids shouldn't prepare for sports or music. Else how will you recognize true genius. That's just me though. I am not going to try and force my beliefs down other people's throats. [/quote]

Strawman after strawman.

It’s not just my opinion. That is how the tests are designed.
