[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every thread with the word prep in it falls into the same pattern.  Prepping in the context of this thread refers to actions whose [b]sole purpose is to increase the scores on an IQ test[/b]; it does not increase the baseline IQ.

The reason why people "prep" the kids are to give them an advantage in regards to obtaining entry into AAP.

It has nothing to do with studying for an exam, it has nothing to do with sports.

If you think prepping for the CogAT is a positive attribute, call out the action on the AAP parental referral form.  If you will not do that, then you know it is cheating.[/quote]

CogAT is not an IQ test.[/quote]

CogAT was designed to test how children solved problems they have never seen before.  Prepping in this an other affluent areas has warped the test as a measurement of anything.  [/quote]

Your first sentence is correct.  The bolded sentence above is not.  Prepping in the context of this thread has nothing to do with IQ tests.[/quote]
