[quote=Anonymous]We approached it as a way to help our kid recognize she has choices when it comes to her education. My kid attends a magnet, but zoned school would have been fine. We learned that other students were doing test prep a month or so before the test, which we thought would be too much stress (caveat is the kid takes tests well enough). Kid did the MCPS practice test once before the test date. And, I think it is important to say that our kid prepared the essays - we spent a bit of time talking about the topics and I did type it (because he did it so late). But it is your child's job, not yours. I would approach it the same way if kid applies to HS magnets next year. Please do not put too much pressure on your kid as it is stressful and discouraging. Try to set them up for reality and success whether the get into a magnet or not. The Magnet overviews are good in that they emphasize that most kids don't get accepted. Good luck. [/quote]
