But, none of them should have seen the test before. [b]You won't get test results that will really tell you anything if some of the kids have never seen the test and some have been going over old test copies for 30 minutes a day all summer.[/b] This test is not the same as the SAT or MCAT,  which test subject matter which can and should be studied for. The second grade tests are to gauge how a child handles problems they have never seen before. Clearly, it wouldn't be a true test of that when kids have been shown in advance how to do the problems. Kids in AAP learn new things quickly, so that is an ability they are looking for in these tests. [/quote]

kind of a moot point, since we all know this is a common occurrence around here. :cry:[/quote]

[b]Can you actually go out and buy books that prep you for this test in 2nd grade?[/b]

My son is only in preschool but we have about 20 books from the preschool section at Barnes and Nobles. I don't think I am prepping him to take any test. I am teaching him how to write letters and count.[/quote]

Yes, there are people who make a lot of money selling books and even courses to prepare children to take these tests.[/quote]
