[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I like the holistic approach. I don’t think a high score should automatically get you in. There are always ways to beat the test. I think looking at work samples and teacher comments is important too.[/quote] I think the holistic approach is the reason so many slightly above average kids are in AAP, slowing down the curriculum for everyone else. UMC kids with involved parents who are providing enrichment are going to have relatively strong classroom performance and better work products, which in turn gets them into programs like AAP. [/quote] Well, my 2E kid -- HF ASD -- has never scored well in any IQ type test (CogAT, WISC) because she gets fatigues during the WISC and distracted in the CogAT. She was in AAP due to GBRS (120s on the CogAT). She is currently a junior in HS, taking 5 AP's; and getting mostly A's. And she has gotten 5's in every AP test she has taken to date. [/quote]
