[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is Asian and the gbrs is much lower than the test scores, they assume you cheated the tests via test prep classes etc and the scores don't carry much weight with the committee. Especially the NNAT bc that style of test is much easier to swing by cheating.[/quote]

Exactly how does one go about "cheating" on either one of these tests?[/quote]

Did parents seriously tutor their kids in advance of these tests? I didn't even know about them and my child aced them on her own. They are aptitude tests. Hard to cheat.[/quote]

Yes, there are tons of classes (mostly run out of language schools) that are specifically test prep for the CogAt and NNAT. The whole reason Fairfax has its own version of the CogAt was that one of their teachers was moonlighting at a Korean language school teaching test prep and using an actual copy of the CogAt that she stole.[/quote]

[b]Most Koreans, Chineese, and some Indians[/b] are aware of TestPrep schools and get their kids through them to prepare for AAP. You'll see these schools generally in Chantilly, Herndon, and Ashburn areas. Any TestPrep might raise score by few points, but won't dramatically improve the scores. Cheating is a different thing though.

Not true.  Blanket statements like this are very disturbing and upsetting!![/quote]
