[quote=Anonymous][quote]New poster here. 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] Those of us who went to school understand the benefits of preparation and hard work for performance (in academics or other discipline). Even athletes, musicians and surgeons understand this concept. Most of the house wives and home economists on these boards have no experience and are clueless. They don't even understand the concept of preparation since to them it's looking for a couple of sample tests on the internet and bookstore with appropriate test label and bubbling...bubbling idiots...who beleieve their children were born smart, intelligent and knowledgeable.[/quote]
