Why don't teachers just spend time teaching what they think should be taught, and when it come to testing, just let the chips fall where they may.
Isn't test prep basically cheating the system?
Massachusetts releases old MCAS questions, and other states do the same. Having students practice on released questions cannot be called cheating. My middle child occasionally works through old MCAS tests for fun. Whether practicing on old questions boost scores is unknown. Once students become familiar with question formats, I doubt that further practice helps much.
