[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask them why they have it on their website. For the tenth time: they don't want you to prep. They are not looking for prepped kids.

I do worry about my own kid! Do you think this is a theoretical argument? My non-prepped kid might well be at a disadvantage for AAP because of those who memorize and game the test. [/quote]

Then do your best for your kid by using the "reading and feeding" them method.  Let them play video games like Professor Layton and Minecraft.  Let them watch a little TV, and let them do their homework completely on their own.  Go to the MENSA website, and let them do some of the puzzles there, including the speed challenge.  Read, read, read.

There are lots of things you can do to prep your child for success on these kinds of tests.  The above are the kinds of things we do, and our kids are successful.  So it doesn't matter to us if someone else decides to spend all their spare time on expensive practice tests.  Works for them, fine.  Not the way I would do it, but I am not in their house and don't really consider it my business.

Different methods to the same path.  We aren't all wired the same, so the way we prepare doesn't need to be either.[/quote]
