[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP.  I mean, yes, it does, since the program is designed for unprepped kids...[/quote]

Actually, the tests (NNAT and CogAT) are designed for unprepped kids.  The AAP program is designed for kids who are academically strong, prepped or not.

I get that the NNAT/CogAT are just a data point.  A kid who had good NNAT/CogAT score but doesn't do well in gen Ed class is not going to get in AAP, but (from what I heard) a good student might get into AAP with a not-so-good NNAT/CogAT score.

[b]What exactly is prep?[/b]  My nephew had reading issues in first grade so my sister had some tutoring for him, I am sure everyone is okay with that?   And she kept the tutoring for my nephew even he's above grade level now, so now it is bad prep?  Come on... [/quote]

In case you are genuinely asking, prep is specifically for the NNAT and Cogat (and for the old TJ test... ahem).

AAP is for both the kid with good NNAT/Cogat score who is doing well academically and for the kid with good NNAT/Cogat score who is not doing well academically.  As well as for kids with medium NNAT/Cogat score who is doing well academically.  It's a big program by design - and the design is to include additional kids to be a cohort for the smaller number of actually-gifted kids.  [/quote]
