Well, great! Thank you for finally clearing that up. Perhaps, we will now finally wrap up this, "Prepping/Scamming the Cogat" 37+ page thread and all go home now...

Four, 30 or 40 question tests (NNAT and CoGAT) are the primary metric for entry into the AAP program closely followed by the GBRS.

One out of five kids are in AAP (17%).  Some of those kids undeniably got in because of prepping. Prepping that is not that hard to do. Do a search on the Internet and pick a few dozen pick the next shape in the series questions and you have prepped for NNAT.  Practice some word similarity questions and next in the number series questions and you have prepped for the CoGAT. Wow. So difficult. The whole process probably took an hour or two and didn’t cost a penny.

But you parents that are tempted to prep. Don’t do it. Home school and private school are great options and if your kid gets left behind in general-ed -- it is just as good.  Remember that the AAP program is really for the top 3% (even though the top 17% are already in it).
