[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in an FCPS ES and I promise you that most kids don’t get prepped for CogATs.  And we know the kids who do because most will blurt it out that they’ve been practicing with their parents.  The only practice needed is done in class before the test.  I promise you that it is sufficient.  In fact, extensive prepping invalidates the result; that’s why you can’t take it twice in a calendar year.

Believe me, when we get a kid who has been extensively prepped and gets an unexpectedly high score, we know it and essentially dismiss it.  Last year we had a kid with the hugest NNAT we’ve ever seen but she finished the test in less than 5 minutes and said these were the exact puzzles she’s been practicing with her mom for months.  We all know that’s not her real score, and the sad thing is we’ll never know what her real score is since her mom basically invalidated the test.  [/quote]

Do the school disqualified the student or she is admitted to AAP with very high NNAT? Just curious how the school or FCPS handle this kind of cases. [/quote]

Schools can't disqualify a student who prepped.  They can, however, give a poor GBRS, which often is enough to cause an in-pool kid to be rejected.  [/quote]
