[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little birdie with insider knowledge let it slip that the selection committee is far more sophisticated than most parents give them credit for. It seems they’ve developed a quiet but effective method of identifying students who were coached through the process by cross-referencing standardized test scores against in-school work submissions and academic records.

A significant discrepancy between the two tells its own story. When a child’s classroom performance and their test results simply don’t align, the committee notices. And when they notice, they already know.

So all that expensive test prep, the tutors, the prep books, the weekend drilling sessions? The committee has seen it all before. They’ve learned to read between the lines and apparently, they’ve gotten quite good at it.[/quote]

So smug!! Our non-prepped daughter had a 160 NNAT and 154 CoGat and 99% iReadys. The *expert* selection committee absolutely assumed she must have been prepped because she was found ineligible (!!) and we had to appeal.  The new info on the appeal was a bunch of new work samples (as there was nowhere to go w/r/t test scores!) What's funny is that the work samples and parent letter actually took a ton of my time to contrive appropriate samples where she could demonstrate her "genius."  OMG.  So yes, please go on about how good the committee is!  [/quote]
