[quote=Anonymous]Does anybody here actually know of a "coached/prepped" kid who did remarkably better than they would have otherwise? (i.e. Do you know of a kid who got super scores but found they were not able to keep up in AAP). I am curious (even anecdotally). Because I don't believe that prepping has a drastic affect on the scores. I do think that it is helpful to know the format of the test, so that the kid isn't nervous or confused about what is expected. (It would probably be good if they gave all kids a "dry run" at a test just to get them comfortable a few days before the real one). But I am highly skeptical that coaching would raise scores 20+ points. So I don't think a high score would be a poor indicator of a gifted child, even if coached. I don't think you could "coach 'em up" that much... just ask Steve Spurrier. [/quote]
