[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]DD got in Clemente computer science program. There are preparation that you CAN do.
 1. Raven test, do more raven questions exercise will slightly increase the point but not too much. It is rather a long term training of their spatial conception which start playing music instrument at an early age (4 or 5 yo) will greatly increase the ability.
 2. Reading comprehension, read read and read, min. 2 or 3 grade above grade level.
 3. Math test, again, min. of 2 grade above grade level. Answers have to be fast and correct. No time to re-check.
 4. Writing, be creative with contents. This year's question was What can community do (something like that) I believe many many students answered picking up trash, recycling... These kind of answers do not stand out to the selection committee. Of course, the essay has to be well constructed, and grammatically correct.
 
Hope it helps. [/quote]

Good lord.  This is cheating and immoral.  I'm shocked you are allowed to parent children.  Don't you know prep is not allowed and we don't prep our children.  I wish the schools would screen out all the cheaters.

Tell me you are joking.

We prepare our kids for all test, so what is so different about this test? Do not all HS kid prepare for SAT? There is nothing inherently wrong in preparing your kids and its not cheating to get your kids ready for the kind of questions they will get in this test. Of course no one can predict the concepts that you do not have already acquired by the time of the test, but the techniques are as important as content. If MOCO did have enough seats for everyone I would buy into the theory of some righteous parents that smart/intelligent kids should not be prepped. Until then, I suggest every parents to prepare their kids for the test.[/quote]
