[quote=Anonymous][quote]I can see the dichotomy in the posts reflect somes opinion that the CogAT matters in some way. There is no question that study for spelling tests, math tests, SATs, college exams, etc help, as the tests are measuring specific knowledge. The only use of the CogAT in FCPS (from what I can tell) is AAP. But, it is one of several factors. A good CogAT (96-98) with an 8 GBRS will not get the child into AAP. In contrast an 82% CogAT with a good GBRS (14+) will get the child in.

The reason is the FCPS has devalued testing because of the test prep. It is used to identify kids to screen for AAP, but any child can be parentally referred. If you feel the need to prep through the prep classes, and you think the child is worthy of AAP, spend the money on IQ test, like the WISC. A WISC of 130+ will get the child into AAP regardless of GBRS.[/quote]

Some spend money for test prep. Others don not.  Test prep is not limited to spending money for a course (Much like SAT prep or ACT prep, AP prep, of History class test prep) [/quote]
