[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The NNAT is perceived as easier to jack the score up with cheating.[/quote]

How do you think a 1st grader cheats while teacher administers this test?[/quote]

There are tons of Chinese, Korean, Indian extracurricular programs that teach children how to take the test. Parents pay $$$ for this. [/quote]

Korean-American parent here. I bought one NNAT and one Cogat test from amazon. We spent about one week going over question format prior to the test. Do you seriously consider that cheating?

DH and I are both ivy league educated. We both studied for our SAT, GMAT and MCAT. I'm from NYC and most parents (white and Asian) do some sort of study prep to get their kids into the Manhattan gifted program or private school admissions. I knew more white people who got their kids tutored than Asians. I never considered this cheating.[/quote]

It is cheating. 
The point of the tests is to see how children do with questions they are unfamiliar with. Going through sample tests unfairly boosts their scores in comparison with children taking the test as it is meant to be taken. (Especially the CogAt-which is normed in Fairfax only). Unfairly inflating your child's score = cheating.

SATs etc are achievement tests, completely different kind of test.[/quote]
