[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty clear from all the complaints in this forum this spring that test scores are only getting kids into the pool for consideration. GBRS and work samples carry the day. Administrators are clued in to prepping.[/quote] I think this is true, up to a point. However, my kid was initially rejected a few years ago with CogAt and NNAT scores <5 points below the cutoff. We did not prep, and DC got in on appeal with a WISC. I can absolutely see why someone would be tempted to prep and save the $$ on a WISC after the first borderline test. I suspect if we'd done it, the CogAt would have been above the cutoff and the WISC wouldn't have been needed for admission. I can't guarantee the scores would've been higher if we'd prepped, but I'd bet any amount of money that it wouldn't have hurt. There are a ton of prep centers right around our house that stake their reputations on this, and they have been in business for years. [/quote]
