[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it truly measured innate ability, then prepping wouldn't make any difference. If it doesn't measure innate ability, then perhaps it shouldn't be used as a litmus (or the only litmus) for which children are gifted.[/quote] No test purely measures innate ability, and all tests are vulnerable to prepping. The WISC, which ought to be less vulnerable to prepping than the CogAT, since it's more comprehensive and not strictly multiple choice, is still vulnerable to prepping. FCPS and other school districts use the CogAT and NNAT because they're much cheaper than individual IQ tests. They've moved away from over-reliance on the score and instead base admissions more on GBRS. This is likely due to widespread prepping for the CogAT and NNAT. [/quote]
