[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys got me all freaked out about this. I should know to NEVER rely on DCUM for advice or to trust what I read.

Here’s my reality check with real scores:

Cogat National 99V, 98Q, 99NV
Cogat MCPS, 96V, 93Q, 95NV
MAP math 240s, MAP reading 230s
All As
High 5 on PARCC math, high 4 on PARCC ELA

Recommended for TPMS, wait pool at Eastern

School with moderate poverty rate. No prepping for tests.[/quote]

Congrats to you and your child, PP!
My DD is recommended for Easter and not recommended for TPMS.
Cogat National 99V, 99Q, 97V
Cogat MCPS 99V, 99Q,90MCPS
MAP math 250s, MAP reading 240s, all As, lower 5s on both PARCCs.
WJ cluster, currently not in a CES,[b] no prepping for tests other than one CogAt book from Amazon.[/b]

Frankly, I thought DD had a better shot at TPMS than Eastern, since her MAP-M have been high all along, but, I guess, a relatively low CogAT NV did her in. I'm not complaining, though, we are going to the open house.

You purchased a book for your child and made her take these tests in them to prep her to get a better CogAt score.  Yet, you are actually that delusional to think you didn't test prep.  You Tiger parents are unreal.  [/quote]
Not the pp, but the book from amazon is a full bank of cogat mock test. I purchased one also for my DC, who only got 1 wrong in each battery, so we all thought he bombed his real test because he got total 12 wrongs. Turns out his score is still the top on every section. I feel the mock test book is good to let the kids familiarize with the type of questions and don’t get over anxious, and I don’t think that’s a test prep.[/quote]

Hilarious! You totally prepped.[/quote]
PP. No, "prepping" is sending your child to a weekend, semester-long, class that explicitly teachers kids how to take CogAt, coupled with 5 timed mock-tests, like 3 parents of a certain race do.
Getting a book - a pretty crappy one, at that - off Amazon and having your child go through it the afternoon before the test is not prepping. [/quote]
