The first cheaters of 2006

Caveon's Cheating in The News feature has been updated. I had heard about the GMAT updating of test security measures, and it's about time; neither fingerprints nor digital photographs are unheard of in the testing biz.

Also featured is a story of an ex-teacher who helped a principal become an ex-principal by revealing secret taped converstations about cheating on state exams, and a worrisome tale of would-be nurses who took advantages of items on the Internet.

My question for the day: If you're training your students to respond to test items that aren't even asked, is that still considered "teaching to the test"?
