[quote=Anonymous]There is no prepping police. However, the test is designed for no prepping. Now, there are different levels of prepping: kids familiarized with testing, to general increasing of knowledge to memorizing test answers. Obviously, memorizing answers to past tests is not appropriate....general increase in knowledge is appropriate, but it should be done for the kids intellectual growth and not for the test. The bottom line, though, is that while test prep can help the score, it will not make kids smarter. The test is used as a proxy for intelligence tests, and can be gamed...there is no real advantage to that. I read about parents that prep the kids all summer. That is just a lost summer. With that said, from the evidence I have seen, being in the pool does not matter. The acceptance rate for parental referred is almost as high as in pool kids. [/quote]
