[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Replying to this thread in case it helps future parents. Thanks for all the great info here!

Our daughter got in on appeal. Here are a few tips

- Work with your AART - ours was very helpful and gave us guidance along the way.

- Focus on what needs most attention. Since ours had pretty decent scores, we did NOT do any further testing and instead concentrated exclusively on samples and the parent letter.

- Speaking of samples - here is what we did:

*  A short story (with illustration) around a topic she was interested in

* Another short story (don't quite recall the origin of it)

* A math problem (prompt generated by Chat GPT)

* A picture of a board game she did

--- For all the samples, except the board game photo, we wrote a few sentences explaining our thoughts behind it. For the board game, our child wrote about it.

We were involved with the samples of course but not overly so (ie, some spelling mistakes were present). But we made sure that it was neat and in good handwriting (as good as a 7 year old can do).

The samples took time so plan accordingly. Each sample from beginning to end was probably 1-2 hours in terms of planning, discussing, doing a rough draft, a final copy, etc.  Aim for 5-6 samples (split between math & non-math) so you can (along with the input of your AART) choose the best ones.

Since no-one else has said it - Thank you for the update - Congratulations to your daughter!  Super glad it worked out for you all - It sounds like that's where she needs to be![/quote]
