[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got this from our school today.  Prepping is recommended...

"Since the beginning of the school year, our teachers have been preparing our students for the more rigorous tests. Parents can view narrated demonstrations of the new test items, online SOL practice tests, and grade level content reviews to help their children prepare for the tests by visiting http://www.fcps.edu/is/news/mathsol.shtml.  Parents are reminded that students test better when they are prepared physically and emotionally.  FCPS’ Family and School Partnerships share these tips for test takers from The Parent Institute: don’t stay up late—get plenty of rest during test weeks—and eat healthy meals to keep mind and body nourished. "[/quote]

That's about making sure your kids get to bed early the night before and eat breakfast the morning of the SOL. Totally different than the type of "prepping" that parents do for AAP tests.[/quote]
Did you miss "online SOL practice tests, and grade level content reviews "[/quote]

This quote from the school is specifically referring to the SOL's, which are subject matter tests as opposed to the CogAT, which is an ability test. One is expected to study for a subject matter test.[/quote]
