[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid who has  had a leg up in the CES for two years SHOULD score higher than a kid who has not because of all the extra instruction. For a non-CES kid to score high despite the lack luster regular teaching it shows innate ability so it’s absolutely reasonable if they can get in with slightly lower scores if that’s what is happening.

However what is more likely is that schools that house a CES have a larger number off highly able kids than those that don’t. If your school has a CES then your kid has more competition regardless of whether your kid is in the CES or not.[/quote]
So if you think writing a bit more or doing some internet research before writing an essay at CES magically improves COGAT scores, you are delusional. If CES students are indeed penalized as some people claim here, I think it would be highly unfair and may even be subject to lawsuit.[/quote]

They look at a students home MS not whether they're in a CES. Also the PP who posted their scores are fine, but without a high MAP-M they child wouldn't get into TPMS magnet.[/quote]
