[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP tried gaming the system. Now he/she regretted that he/she did not do enough. What a joke![/quote]

+1. You nailed it.[/quote]

Buying one COGAT prep book is considered gaming the system?  Are you people nuts?   Do you also consider the kid who takes musical instrument lessons and gets picked for the orchestra or the kid who takes soccer/tennis lessons and gets picked for the team as gaming the system?  Because only kids who have never prepared or trained should be considered to identify the truly gifted tennis player?[/quote]

You play music, tennis etc, using your own money. You can do whatever you want.
MCPS is a public school system, operated on tax payer's money. Every child shall have EQUAL opportunity!! CES or whatever.
Many kids do not have access to test preparation, and thus are put in disadvantage unfairly.
So, YES, folks like you are gaming the system.

The books, not test prep classes, cost ~$15.  At that price, the issue is not affordability but attitude about valuing education.... Following these threads on DCUM, it seems like the SJWs just want all CES programs abolished.  Everyone gets the same level of education irrespective of ability.  A future of mediocrity awaits.

The whole point of recent changes like using the CogAt screener is because prep has minimal impact. [/quote]

Sadly, no test cannot be prepared. No system cannot be gamed.[/quote]
