[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three pages along, and I see no one has admitted to buying WPPSI test prep materials and sample tests.

I did!   Three years ago, I bought materials from a vendor in New York City who supplies to psychologists. The whole package was closer to $1100, not $800.  No kidding.

Then I ran DS through the paces about a month before the test date.   He did great, 99%.

Fast forward four years, he is now at the very top of his class in all subjects except art and P.E. in a DC private.  So he probably would have done very well without my prepping, I'm guessing.  But maybe not, and I didn't feel like leaving that component to chance.

Also, I don't regret in the least what I did.  [/quote]

PP, I understand you don't regret what you did, and I'm not judging you.  But I am curious how you thought about it at the time.  Do you feel like you "cheated"?  Or maybe you think it was justified, because some other people do it?  Or maybe you take an attitude of ends-justify-the-means?  You admit to it here on an anonymous forum, but would you tell neighbors or other parents from your child's class about what you did?

I am genuinely curious about your attitude, and not trying to attack you.  TIA.[/quote]
