In NYC prepping is such a big deal. The private schools use the WISC, although they call it the ERB because of the office that administers it. The report written by the psych would be a huge red flag there. Hunter elem uses the SB V, they use most but not all of the subtests because of the cheating. When DS was tested, the tester mentioned that one of her testees had to be reported and that 3 kids that year had been disqualified. Rumor has it they re going to create their own test because of the cheating. In some cases it's not the parents per se, its that they send the kids to prep places, and those places cross the line or are on the line. The NYC DOE actually gives a sample test for familiarization but that opens the door for prepping as well.
A lot of the preppers argument is that if you can prep a 97 to a 99 and that just shows its meaningless, however, teachers and admin have told me that they can see the difference which is why they care beyond the cheating aspect.
