[quote=Anonymous]My kid was accepted into AAP. We do care about his academic advancement. He does attend outside supplementation in STEM areas, all his choice. We did not prep for the tests. We had no clue what the NNAT was or why we should care. We had no idea when the CoGAT was happening. He scored high enough on both tests to be in-pool and was accepted on the first round. If you really think that your kid belongs in AAP then there should be no need to prep and stress over the tests.

If you are a parent who is involved and paying attention to your kid then AAP is not that important. It just isn’t that special or different. Advanced Math is the same math that a kid gets at the Center in LIV and effectively acts as  LLIV class at most base schools. Do you really think the LA is that different then what the rest of the kids are getting?

If AAP was really advanced and was really setting the kids up for a different kind of success we would see it in HS but we just don’t. Gen Ed kids do well in AP/IB classes. They pass the tests and score high enough for college credit. Some AAP kids take fewer AP/IB classes then their Gen Ed peers.
