[quote=Anonymous]It is a mixed bag, some people get it and get in, others don't. There is no pattern to the scores.

The question is why is it important to you to get your child into AAP? Is it worth $500, or whatever costs, and hours of testing for your child to be placed into AAP.

The answer to this question is personal. We deferred AAP to stay in Language Immersion. Our child joined AAP in 7th grade and had no issues in any of his classes. He tested into Algebra 1 H. AAP is not that advanced, plenty of kids who defer or chose to stay in LLIV join AAP in MS and have zero issues with the class work. The reality is, the AAP curriculum does not accelerate the kids in a significant way. The only exception is math and you can get that through Advanced Math.

The possible exception to this is if your kid is at a Title 1 school or a near Title 1 school when AAP is your best opportunity for your child to be in a class with peers that are on grade level or slightly advanced and they will not that in the regular classroom. [/quote]
