I'm equating the two because the school equates the two.  Don't be obtuse.  Just because you didn't want to PAY for one type of prepping, but opted to instead pay for a cheaper type of prepping, doesn't change the fact that you prepped.  Look, it isn't a big deal,[b] but it is against what the county wants, against what the purpose of the testing is supposed to evidence[/b], and if you nevertheless elect to prep., own it rather than hide behind the, "Well,  I didn't prep as much as some people, so don't lump me with them!"   :roll: [/quote]

I agree with you.  But at this point, prepping is pretty widespread, the county has no way to prevent it, and the payoff (getting into AAP) can be huge.  If the county truly doesn't want people to prep, it needs to come up with a better system.  I'll admit that I kind of feel like an idiot for not prepping my child, who ended up being rejected with a just under cutoff CogAT score and a 15 GBRS (admitted on appeal, though).  One more correct answer would have led to an in-pool score and presumably not having to deal with the appeals process.  I'm not saying it's right to prep, but I can sympathize with the people who choose to do so in light of the way the current process works. [/quote]
