[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any of you had kids who took the actual NNAT or CogAT without and with prepping? By how many points did the score improve? Is it worth prepping for these? The teachers say ‘no prepping can help’. The test prep centers beg to differ. [/quote] Worth it?? If your child's borderline, then yes it certainly is. There is VERY little/no difference between the smarter kids in General Ed, and the lower/mid tier in AAP. AAP generally gets better teachers and less disruptive students (not all mind you), and more teacher focus to the whole class rather than the struggling students. The gamut of prepping is also extremely wide, from buying a practice test to review, to online services that provide a similar test-like structure, to entire classes/centers dedicated to the experience. Honestly, I'd recommend either no, or limited prep for NNAT, as that is really kind of a practice round for the more important COGAT in 2nd grade.[/quote]
