[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't even give the Raven test in grade 2 (just the inview), so yes this is crazy.  HGC test is in grade 3 and like PPs have said I don't think anyone knows what is on that one.   Even if you could prep,  do you really want to do that?   If your kid can't get in on their natural abilities do you really want them there struggling?[/quote]

Students definitely do take the Raven test in 2nd grade - check out the explanation of the SIPPI - http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/curriculum/enriched/about/Understanding%20Screening.pdf

Also, teachers will still see the scores so I wouldn't take a chance and not prepare - the score may influence recommendation letters. I heard acceptance rates are below 5% in some places - that's lower than Harvard! There's no way you shouldn't try to get ready for these crazy tests.

Has anyone heard of or used this Aristotle Peers? I can't seem to find too much info about them.[/quote]

Yes they are based in NYC near me - sell textbooks, tutoring etc. They are known to be both good and expensive.[/quote]

Please stop sock puppetting on behalf of Aristotle Circle. This poster, who is the OP, is replying to herself. This has been a repeated occurrence. I have said it before, but I will say it again: do not trust anything you read her about Aristotle Circle. I would also suggest that a company that engages in such marketing practices should be avoided.
