So you prep Larlo. sign up your little Larlo for an expensive test prep to prep them for this test. Larlo is way behind if you haven't already done so. "Gifted" my ass

But there's no incentive to be tagged as "gifted" in the MCPS system. My kid has a 99% COGAT but wasn't in the CES selection pool despite having all their MAP scores in the 90%. Only MAP matters.

MCAP & MISA are state-mandated. The ones aligned with American Government and Life Science/Biology count for part of a grade.

And that's why "gifted my ass"

You spend too much time on DCUM if you know this comes up every year. Disconnect if it irritates you.

Bc I'm not an idiot and had a similar question last year, so I did a search. Dumbass.

I think you need to take your meds and go for a walk outside rather than hurling insults at parents...

To make everyone feel included.

ICYMI: kids are quickly labeled and it’s almost too late by second grade TJ make the case for your kid.

PS - Hindsight being 20/20, I wish we would have gone private. MCPS has declined dramatically over the last decade.
