[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child had a 96 percentile and didn't get in. I didn't prep because we were told not to. Had I known that prepping is so widespread, of course i would have prepped. I feel like I have done a disservice to my child.[/quote]

Prepping is not "so widespread".  The AAP forum on DCUM is not representative of FCPS or AAP.[/quote]

I'd be very interested to know what percentage of kids admitted to AAP were prepped, even minimally. There's obviously no way to get this data, but there are several prep centers in my immediate area and they seem to be doing quite a bit of business.[/quote]

I don't live in a TJ feeder area and I live in an area on DCUM that is typically seen as more laid back and i tend to agree.

I am also a talker with a lot of friends and will ask people things and not worry what they think of me lol. Of 4 people I have discussed this with plus me - I did not prep my kid, 3 others did not prep for varying reasons - didn't care whether kid went or not, didn't know you could prep, and didn't want to prep because they didn't want to push their kid for anything they weren't ready for if they didn't test in on their own. One person I know did prep her kid and she is a really good person. I really don't know why she felt the need to do it. It was one of these - I did a few questions with DC so they would know what to expect and I think her view is that she doubts it made a difference either way.

This is obviously just anecdotal!
