I only  heard about it after my child got into TJ. I had been aware that people prepped their kids for the TJ test, although we didn't, but my child came home from school the first weeks in high school and told me how many of the kids talked about their test prep classes and the kinds of prep they did. Out of curiosity, I went looking for more information and found out that parents were prepping their kids for the AAP identification tests also and that there were areas where parents were making a bit of money selling test prep books to other parents.

I never heard of this when my child was in first and second grade! Back then, there were 10-12% in the program, so maybe the numbers have gone up because of people prepping their kids for these test ahead of time, I don't know. From descriptions on this board, it sounds like the program may be different than when my child went though it simply because of the increase in numbers. I would imagine that if you broaden the spectrum of the ability level you're looking for, that that would change the nature of class discussions and the type of work the teacher can assign.
