[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you even prep for these tests? I don't think prepping makes a big difference for NNAT or COGAT. It's just a way to make money off ultra competitive parents. Somebody is getting richer.[/quote]
Agreed.  OP, one should feel guilty [i]only[/i] if prepping was extensive and effective enough to overcome all other checks and place a below borderline child in an environment where they are struggling.   It’s my own belief that this result is nowhere near as common as folks on DCUM fear.

Critics like to point out the prepping culture of Asians.  These same folks further a false belief that anyone who preps ONLY got in due to prepping.  These clichés are somewhat incompatible.  Chances are many of the top students in middle and high schools are Asian who “prepped” in early elementary as a prelude to AAP.  Prepping likely had no effect other than to boost confidence.  And if prepping got them in, what kept them going?  If they did not deserve to be in AAP how can their continued success be explained?     [/quote]
