Yes you are right, we did prep him a few days before to go over some questions that I came across online so that he wouldn't be totally caught off guard. As we did the same the first time he took the test.

I think an extra year of maturity may have helped improve his scores. But please don't get me wrong, we did not drill him with test questions for weeks before the test. [/quote]

PP, I'm sorry that people are piling onto you about the tutoring.  Did everyone miss the fact that your older child got into AAP with lower scores?  I can see why people with two kids having very similar intelligence levels will do everything they can to get the second child in.  After all, would people really want the older child to be perceived as the smart one and the younger child as the non-smart one when both kids are basically at the same level?  Also, getting tutoring or outside enrichment for your 3rd grader who didn't make AAP in the hopes of keeping up with AAP doesn't seem crazy at all to me.  I hope your kid gets in on appeal.[/quote]

I think you are referring to me and not pp. I have a current older child in aap and a second grader who was rejected just now.

My younger rejected child is naturally smarter than my older child. My older child is a harder worker. My younger child has a superior memory.

My younger rejected child has higher test scores and better gbrs. Older child also had strong gbrs but commentary is amazing for younger child. I seriously don’t understand why my child was rejected.

Older child’s work products are better. We moved and new school submitted PowerPoint created by my child as a sample. I’m honestly impressed my kid created a slide show. Teacher even wrote my child created the presentation in school without research. I thought this was an awesome work product since my kid can barely type. Committee didn’t seem to think so.[/quote]

Had a similar experience.  Older child got in with similar scores, GBRS, work samples, etc.  Younger child was not found eligible.  My younger child is definitely a better student and harder worker.  Older child is definitely bright in own way, just not so interested in school.  This whole thing seems to be a crapshoot.  [/quote]
