[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Are people actually saying that [b]otaining the exact form/copy of the test, having a 7 yo memorize the answers, then take the test is ethical? If so, I hope you enjoy your career befoe you get busted for fraud[/b].[/quote]

This statement has nothing to do with hardwork and prepping for tests, exams and studies.  Nothing at all. You are the only one talking about smuggling tests and exams and forcing students to memorize the answers.  This is not what is meant by hard work and study or test preparation and prepping.

[b]But this thread originated from FCPS stating they have caught children with the exact form (meaning copy) of the CogAT[/b].  That is not prep, that is cheating.  Reading, solving puzzles, writing, studying are all good exersizes.  Just like batting practice is needed for Bryce Harper.  Trying to infer the game plan is ok in sports.  Stealing the game plan is not.[/quote]

It did not.  I'm starting to think this is all an urban myth.  Ceratinly no one has made the case FCPS considers prepping to be unethical or scamming.[/quote]

In an FAQ on the tests, previously linked in page 32 of this thread (google is my friend),  at http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/pdfs/FAQre2012CustomizedCogAT.pdf, it says, "FCPS staff members chose to administer the custom form of the CogAT this year after it came to our attention that some students, in previous years, had prepared for the CogAT using the exact form of the CogAT being administered in FCPS."

That sounds like cheating to me.  [/quote]
