Does test preparation enhance the odd for your child to get into the Highly selective program? Yes.
Is it fair?  My DC got a great education at Blair.  SAT-2300+ and 9 AP-5.
Years ago, she was bored in our MS and told me everyday that she learned nothing in school.  In 8th grade, her math teacher inspired and woke her up.  She was interested in learning and wanted to go to the magnet schools.  Although she was an all A student, I knew she could not pass the test.  We spent a lot of money send her to a prep class.  Her test score improved 300 during the preparation.  Long story short, she is studying math in a top college now.
If your kid is smart, motivated, well organized, and discipline, congratulation. 
I will not hesitate to help my child to be the best of version of themselves.  [/quote]

It's not clear which test you're talking about. You probably mean the SAT, not the magnet entrance test for Blair, for two reasons. First, the MoCo magnet tests are proprietary and are not available to private test prep companies. In other words, the Pearson company designs the magnet test exclusively for MoCo which does not make old test versions public. Second, the magnet entrance tests are not scored in increments of several hundreds. An improvement of 300 points on the magnet entrance test is impossible.

If this post is real and not fake, then your are saying your kid improved 300 points on the SATs, she could not have improved by 300 points on the MoCo magnet entrance test. [/quote]
