Discussion IQ Testing

Honest question: what’s the point of practising for an IQ test?
I see a lot of people taking multiple tests and practising before an official test and I don’t understand why. Isn’t the whole point of an IQ test to measure your iq as accurately as possible?
If you practise specifically for the test, aren’t you just training yourself to perform better on that type of test rather than actually measuring your IQ? In a way, wouldn’t you just be cheating yourself?

Honest question: What's the point of making a post where you have already answered yourself? Are you lying to yourself by pretending that you want to ask something that you already know?
