At least around here it seems people are allowed to take the Mensa test multiple times.
I never took the official one but I understand a lot of effort goes into constructing test sets that doesn't benefit from cramming but (except for getting used to the format, which you can do online) only on raw "processing power".
I'm not a scientists or a psychiatrist so take my word for just that: my understanding.
Also I note that from what I hear on HN it seems to be that in USA IQ tests contain both spelling and history questions which - in my ears sounds like something very different from a raw IQ test.
