[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lottery brought in a lot of undeserving kids into the middle school magnet programs at the expense of kids who were at the 99th percentile in MAP.  [b]Kids who would have presumably also done very well in COGAT. [/b] The lottery has diluted the quality of the magnet under the guise of diversity.  Bring COGAT or some other objective testing method back.[/quote]

Not necessarily. MAP tests content knowledge, not intelligence.[/quote]

Same with CogAT. Very easy to prep for like SATs.[/quote]

Who in their right mind preps for COGAT? We didn't even know what it is.[/quote]

All I know is a third of TJ's class a few years back came from one single prep center and in years past, there were several well-known tutors locally for CogAT. I think the going rate was $150/hour. I know just taking a few practice tests helped my child improve their score by over 20%.[/quote]

I looked, but couldn't find that news article?  If you're not lying, please provide the link.[/quote]

Curie took an ad out in the paper listing the names of their students who were accepted a few years ago. It was around 30% of the entering class. This has been well covered. [/quote]
