[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am tired of all these whiney poeple complaining that others "prep" their children for standardized tests.   I worked with my kid for weeks before the Cogat and Naglieri.  We worked off the Critical Thinking Workbooks and the actual mock tests available from various online companies that provide study material and sample tests.  When we started studying she would miss a few on each sample test.  Over time we practiced looking for similar "types" of questions and worked on strategy to first eliminate wrong answers and narrow the choices down.  She knew when to guess at an answer and when to skip a question to come back to it.  By the end, she was scoring almost perfectly in the practice tests.  Of course she did extemely well on the school administered tests.  She was confident and relaxed for the test, and I am certain that our preparation increased her bottom line score.

There is no basis for saying it is "unethical" to prepare and study to do you best, no matter what the task.  If her hard work and committment rewarded her by giving her a leg up on her classmates, then that is great, that is what America is all about.[/quote]

If that much preparation were needed to be successful, and your goal was to get her "in," then congratulations! Her enhanced scores do not suggest giftedness. [/quote]
