[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS does not want kids to prep for this test. But MCPS created a document about getting ready for the magnet test.  Our GT liaison in the school showed it to some parents.   The test seems to be a combination of SCAT math section and SAT type reading comprehension passages.  It seems interesting that this document exists with a title of sotheing like "Getting ready" for magnet tests, but parents do not have access to this information![/quote]

Well, that's interesting, because at the info meeting the MCPS rep specifically said that there would NOT be a math section.  That it would be verbal reasoning and spatial (I can't remember the exact word she used, but basically that third category from the elementary GT testing).  So this is diametrically different information if accurate.[/quote]

I think it depends on which magnet you are eligible for.  Clemente is using a different process than Eastern/Takoma Park and they are using different tests.  For the Clemente Magnet I think there were prep materials and different tests for the math/sci/comp sci and Humanities/communications magnets.  For Eastern and Takoma Park they are using the same test for both programs and there were NOT preparation materials.

It would probably be helpful and avoid confusion on this forum if posters were specific about the program they are giving information about.[/quote]
