[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not true that everybody has their kids prep, and it is especially not true for the tests in third grade.[/quote]

[b]I didn't have my kid prep for the HGC test.  The commute to TPMS was a bear and she wasn't super enthused about going so we didn't apply for MS.  If she had applied we definitely would have prepped for MS; it seemed to be much less an IQ test and much more a "what have you learned" test.  They even gave out a sample exam[/b].[/quote]

Totally agreed but except the fact that some part of the test is related to IQ !  For middle school magnet test,   SCAT (math) and Reading are much related to "what have you learned"  but Advanced Raven test is supposed to be nothing to do "what have you learned"

Prep is nothing more than to managing time unless the test is so poorly designed and the problem set is so small that kids will see the same problem during the test as they saw during the prep.

Calling prep cheat is like calling someone looking for bargains a thief ! [/quote]
