[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] For only 100 spots in RCMS magnet program, approx 700 kids took the entrance exam. Each child was prepared to some extent (test prep, kumon, worksheets) and each came to the test with the hope of making it into the program. [b]If test preps were that effective, all kids who took the prep class would get in. [/b] [/quote] That doesn't make sense at all. For one thing, if each child was prepped, that's 700 kids for 100 spots; they can't all get in. For another thing, I don't think that many people are saying that you get in if you prep and you don't if you don't. There are certainly many kids who prep and don't get in. There are also probably some (many? I don't know) kids who don't prep and do get in. The issue is whether and how much prepping increases your chances of getting in.[/quote]
