[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If work done in class isn’t consistent with what would be expected of a kid with a high cogat score, the committee may elect to deny. Unfortunately a lot of parents prep their kids to take the test, so high cogat and nnat scores aren’t always enough for a kid to be identified. [/quote]

Different poster, not OP - Test prep is not common in APS, at least among people I know. I only know about it from the Fairfax / AAP posts on DCUM. My elementary told us about CogAT on a Monday for testing later the same week. I suppose if I had older kids I could have known to prep. [/quote]

New poster.  I agree it's not common.  I have 3 kids and know enough Type As I believe I would have heard if it's a common thing.

In Fairfax, those people go bonkers.  That's why AAP is a messed up model, but that's a different thread.[/quote]

I admit to low key prepping my 1st grader for the NNAT this year. We bought a workbook so he would be familiar with the kind of questions on the test. My main motivation is that we might move to Fairfax in the future so I want the high score on his record. [/quote]

I mean, I showed my kid a few sample questions of each type a couple of days before the test. Is that what is meant by prepping kids, or something more intense? (I’m not OP).

OP, I don’t think it’s common for a kid with those cogat scores not to be identified. [/quote]
