[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely agree with the above post.  I do not understand why parents prep for the tests.  My child made it into AAP and I have the satisfaction knowing that this is her natural ability.

It's good to know your kid is a real gifted one. 
[/b]But for many "only bright not gifted" kids, they need to go to AAP get a little more challenging, not sticking with"too simple" maths and keep complaining school is so boring.

I personally don't like intensive practice or highly-coached behavior. 
However at least we should let your kids get a little familiar with the samples and understand what they are doing except your kids are real genius which I believe the chance is not high. The day when my kid was on test, a few of her classmates tried to get help from her as they really didn't know what did it mean.

NNAT only offers a piece of information to tell your child might be gifted in a certain way(like pattern reorganization)at a time point(your kids might improve a lot later). The real gifted kids are hard to hide away even they failed a couple test occasionally.[/quote]

At about a 17-20% admission rate, there is nothing to indicate this child is a "real gifted one."  I'm not dissing the child at all...both my kids got in with zero prepping, first round.  I'm simply saying that the mere fact that a kid is admitted on her own abilities does not mean the child is a "real gifted" kid.[/quote]
