[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never said that this was for AAP. As a matter of fact, I am sure my child has very high IQ. The point is, what is the effect of prepping, and is it worth doing it if people in your area are doing it.

My child is in AAP, and unfortunately AAP is a bit slow for child's pace. So far it is the best the child has been in, and from what I gather from teachers and counselors in the area, it is as good as it gets in NOVA. Many private schools will either not accelerate enough, or will only want to deal with 'model' children. That makes public school a better choice, because it helps relax the child.

As per more acceleration, I don't know if I want to push the child further, or just leave the child alone. An IQ test may help me make that decision, and if I want to compare my kid to others who have been accelerated, I want to compare them using the same standard, so I can make an informed decision.

So if little Johny and little Lucy got  155s on their IQ tests and thrived in an accelerated environment, but also prepped for the IQ tests, and my child got a 145, but did not prep, can I use Johny and Lucy as comparisons? Would my child get to go from a 145 to a 155 with prepping, or little Johny and little Lucy were going to get that score regardless of their prepping?

This is a practical question, not an ethical one. I'm not sure why so many of you are so worried with other people 'gaming' the system. Only one poster asked: Why do you need to know? Most of the rest of you jumped and pointed fingers.

The OP was, should you prep for an IQ test?  The answer is No.

If you want to talk about IQ tests and AAP, that's a separate question.  Or, according to you, the same question.  If you think the answer is Yes, then go ahead and prep your child for the IQ test.   [/quote]

I'm not sure I understand your statement. Can you please clarify? Thanks. [/quote]
