[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are sample questions embedded into the testing sessions. Please don't buy practice books for your kids; the test is supposed to measure ability, not learned achievement. [/quote]

So many people doing it, you are at a disadvantage if you don’t. It’s just the truth. [/quote]

I am not disputing this but just one lone voice out in the world saying we did zero prep with either of our kids.  My one kid did well but not a super high score.  My other kid got a really high score.  Based on what I know about them, the test did it's job and placed them where they should be and reflected their ability.  It didn't cross my mind to do prep.[/quote]

Same. We did nothing and my kids got 144 and 140. This was in FCPS so they took it in 2nd grade. I would think for older kids prep would be even less necessary. Unless you want them to appear smarter than they are. Which many people seem to want. I already knew my kids were really smart so it just didn't even cross my mind and I didn't care f everyone else was prepping. [/quote]
