Is test preparation an act of cheating?

It’s only a problem if you look at them during the test. :smiley:

Ok, is this cheating?

When I went to school, my parents were not rich. I got tutoring for my SATs from a friend, and I took the in-school SAT tutoring.

How about this?

A friend of mine, whose parents were filthy rich, hired professional tutors to come in and train her every single day.

If people don’t think that everything, including test-taking, is divided by money in this country, then they are naive.

I don’t think either of those two scenarios are cheating, but to somehow imply that everyone has equal access is laughable and quite amusing.
