[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never in a million years thought I’d say this but I am thinking about doing some light CogAT prep with my first grader over the summer. More and more it seems like everyone preps and I should do the same to put him on a level playing field. Never prepped my older who had a NNAT in the low 120’s but then a CogAT in the high 140’s. I want to “trust the process” but I know DS2 would do well in the program and he really wants to be in it like his older brother. His NNAT score is a bit lower than DS1. I can’t believe I am considering this.  Anyone else think they’d never do it and then change your mind?[/quote]

Prepping is fine, but don't overthink it.  We just ordered a book off of Amazon (that a school principal recommended) and did a couple of tests with our son.  We just wanted him to have some exposure to the types of questions that would be asked Iwe were curious as well!) and guide him on how to approach them.  His CogAT composite was much higher than his NNAT.

I've heard horror stories of parent group meetings and hiring of outside help, etc.  Ridiculous![/quote]

I've heard horror stories of parents making their young kids work through prep books and take multiple home tests, etc.  Ridiculous![/quote]
