[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying that reviewing practice tests, etc is "cheating" (the more I think about it, I lean towards thinking that it is not), but do you think it would be beneficial -- or instead would look ridiculously and unverifiably self-serving and create a bad impression --  to note somewhere in the AAP application process that our child had zero preparation/exposure to sample questions?  [/quote]

I wouldn't advise doing that.  If you feel that your child's score needs an explanation - like, a rough week or night before - or that your child is consistently a bad test taker - I might include a note like that if is true. But not a note denying prep - FCPS assumes no prep (at least that is the official message.) [/quote]

I think a note denying prep would actually imply prep. 
You know when a 3 year old comes up to you out of the blue and says "I didn't color on the wall"?
I think it may have the same effect.

Saying that you didn't prep indicates that you are fully aware that prep materials are available. [/quote]
