[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But teachers say that you really can't prep for the test. They say that there is not a statistically significant increase in scores based on peeping. Also, the problems that the kids will see on the test are new. If the child isn't sharp, the child can't really use his knowledge, bc these tests do not require knowledge. The details that the child needs to see are still there invisible to the child if the child does not get it. [/quote]

Then why are there so many language school type prep classes? why did they have to spend money creating a whole new test after that one teacher took a test to her night job teaching prep classes?[/quote]

I have no idea what the language school preps are, or the story about this teacher, but I do know that just by exposing your child to good games, toys, interesting books and pointing out the subtleties you can help the child with test performance. We are working on a gifted math book from B&N with my 1st greater, and there are so many questions that are useful for CogAT  format and thinking. Every supplemental material we use has things that help with aptitude tests. The point is if the kid can learn fast and can be prept then the kid can learn.

Aren't we all sending kids to school so they can learn?

The question still remains: Do you KNOW that the committee assumes preping with high test and low GBRS scores, or is it sth you conclude.  [/quote]
