+1 I'm not against test prep generally -- I think it's good to prep for SAT/ACT; I can understand why people who think their child will get a more appropriate education in AAP prep for the Cogat.  But prepping for the IAAT really doesn't make sense.  It's not a hurdle to get over; it's a diagnostic for readiness.  It's a really easy test for any kid who is ready to take algebra--the 91% bar is really too low.  There are only disadvantages if you take algebra before you're ready and no upside--you'll struggle in that class, get lower grades (that go on your HS record) and then have to take a higher sequence of math to meet the 4 year requirement many colleges want and likely get lower grades in that.

The SAT is also a measure of college readiness, so you shouldn't prep for that either by your logic.

I prepped my kid for IAAT, and he is getting As in the class.  I suspect he would not have passed without the prep, but no way to know for sure.[/quote]
