It is my understanding (and I may be wrong) that both ACT and CB issue past versions of their various achievement tests for purposes of prep. An achievement test is different than an IQ test. Legitimate prep for an achievement test is not considering "gaming" the test and does not invalidate the results. Having someone else sit for the test, using electronic devices to look up answers, or other forms of cheating would be considered "gaming" the achievement test.
