Except that the teachers will do practice tests with the kids so they are not going in blind. Are all of those kids prepped? [/quote]
Which teachers are doing full practice tests with the kids?  My kids were only shown by the teacher a couple really trivial practice questions put out by the CogAT and intended for that purpose.  That's hardly the same as having a teacher run through full comprehensive practice tests.

I would argue that anyone looking at any CogAT materials other than the official ones included with the CogAT and intended as pre-testing materials is prepping and is invalidating the CogAT score.  [b]At this point, though, so many kids are prepping that it seems foolish for anyone who wants their kids in AAP to refrain from prepping. [/b] [/quote]

I don't think this is true except in some pockets of FCPS.  I know for a fact my two AAP kids weren't prepped.  And given that only a handful of kids from their school go to AAP I can't imagine many others were either.[/quote]
