[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't understand comments like "kids are preparing for the tests". How do you prepare a kid for WISC? Also, I'm searching for COGAT2 books and I found one on Amazon which has ~250 pages. If a 7 year old kid can focus to go over 250 pages of problems and "prepare" for the test, that kid shows that he/she is extremely determined, extremely well focused and intelligent, and if that helps them do well then they [i]should[/i] be in an advanced program because they're not likely to have a problem with any curriculum or test. I know many 7-years old children, and I am not sure that they would have the patience to sit through one half of that book. Actually, I know many university students who struggle with learning 250-page books. [/quote]

Truth! My child’s WISC took 2.5 hours and he did the whole thing with a mask on. I didn’t realize they would have them wear masks at the testing center, and he had to wear a very uncomfortable surgical mask the entire time. And he scored in the 99th percentile. If they can focus on that for SO long and do that well, I am pretty sure he can manage AAP.

And yes, you really can’t prep for the WISC. You can somewhat for the Cogats. But again, why is studying and preparing a BAD thing? Shouldn’t they do that when in school? So why is this a problem anyways? There are books and courses left, right, and center for that test. [/quote]
