[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when do you have to have a 4.0 GPA to get into AAP?[/quote] You don't need it to get in, but 4.0 is an indication that the standard syllabus is probably too easy for them and they might need something more challenging which is offered through AAP. To the OP: There is nothing wrong with prepping. If your child is an over achiever, indicated by 4.0 GPA, it is your/child's decision to seek advanced programs. If the public school system has made testing a prerequisite to get into these advanced programs, you should not hesitate to help your child prepare for the test. Don't go by what sounds good socially. For test preparation, some parents think a workbook or two is all that is needed, few other might think a few weeks would be good, and a few more might decide to allow a few months of formal coaching. You be the judge - if your child needs extended test preparation, then make that investment to your satisfaction. [/quote] Anyone who has a 4.0 is not in FCPS, unless they mean all 4's -- different than a 4.0. It means they mastered the curriculum. I could additionally point out that is a kid doing fine without AAP.[/quote]
