[quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

PP here.  I admit that this is cheating, yes, given the rules of the game.  That is, as another PP put it so beautifully, this game wants you to take even a circumspect, tri-lingual 3 or 4 year old and put them in a room with a complete stranger for 45 minutes and answer questions on command with NO chance for a do-over.   The results of that game are your "IQ" that is used as a deciding factor between two otherwise identical candidates.     The rules are that you can't have seen this test for 12 months, otherwise the results are "inaccurate."   I do admit that's true-ish, so that's why I admitted to cheating.

I admitted our approach to a very few (3?) close friends and I gave one of these friends the $1100 materials to boot.   I would not tell random neighbors, no, just like they don't tell me (but I know anyway) that they hire tutors in advance of the PSAT, aka, "beginning of the Nat'l Merit Sweepstakes".  Some things, acquaintances don't offer without direct questioning.  [/quote]
