[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prepped my kid for CogAT. But I didn't teach her any new material - I don't see how I even could. What we prepped her for was the types of questions. When you see a question like this, it means they are looking for this. Once we explain to her what the question was getting at, she knew most of the answers already.

99 composite score. No guilt.

The school claimed they were going to give the kids sample questions/practice tests in class but due to snow never got around to it. Not my problem.[/quote]

Don't you ever wonder how she would have done if she'd had to figure out what the questions were looking for herself?  That's what my kids all did.  The CogAt is designed to measure a kids ability to solve problems of a type they've never seen before.  Too bad you denied that opportunity to your daughter, all for the sake of a  higher score.  So silly.  [/quote]

I am sure you are lying. If you are not concerned about your scores, why are you on this forum?[/quote]
Not only that, why isn't she working to prevent teachers from showing the question formats to kids before hand.  FCPS is denying students the opportunity to take the test cold, like PP's kids.  So silly, indeed.[/quote]

I am the PP who said the teacher was planning to give the kids sample questions. I am not lying. We are in LCPS, not FCPS. Anyway it doesn't matter because it never happened. The day(s) they were going to do the sample questions were during the blizzard.[/quote]

We are in Fairfax and our teacher dfid give a sample test few days before to familiarize with types and sections and explained what to expect.[/quote]
