[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CogAT is normed using a group of kids who have never been prepped for or even familiarized with the questions. Prepping your child may not be cheating per se, but it will lead to an inflated score relative to the kids taking it sight unseen. The CogAT ceiling is very low, and even getting one extra problem correct can swing the score by a few points. The conventional wisdom is that prepping could increase your child's score at most around 10-15 points. For AAP admissions, this could be the difference between acceptance and rejection. I guess technically, prepping is defeating the purpose of the test. But, parents who want their kids in AAP are foolish if they don't prep. [/quote] Source for your data? [/quote]
