[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Some of that money didn’t go towards intensive prepping?[/quote] DP. The expensive prep classes that I'm aware of, for the middle-school magnet test, ran around $1,000. It's still a long way from there to private-school tuition. Plus if the test-prep classes made any difference at all, then as far as I can tell, it was only at the margins. Lots of kids did test prep the year my kid was in fifth grade. Most of them didn't get in. And some of the kids who did get in, didn't do test prep. I'm in the Siberian Hinterlands. The test prep companies certainly want you to believe that they make a difference in magnet-school admissions. But they have a financial interest in making you believe this, because otherwise you wouldn't enroll your fifth-grader in a $1,000 test-prep class.[/quote]
