Sorry, it is not the same thing. The IQ tests are not to be copied or shared. This is made quite clear. The real guilty person is the school employee who is sharing it--but it may not even be someone within FCPS.

In NOVA pretty much every kid is in gifted and talented.

If you are indeed a teacher you should have blown the whistle instead of posting on this forum.

If that's truly the case, then someone should blow the whistle on the test prep provider and shut them down and invalidate the results of anyone who's attended one of their courses.

I don't think "coaching" would be terribly effective and any gains w would at best be marginal, given the nature of many of the questions. They are typically not knowledge-based questions, nor are they typically formulaic problem solving questions like normal testing that one can more effectively coach someone on.
