This is a great suggestion, rather than doing the test in a non-transparent way.[/quote]

MCPS does post sample test questions for the middle-school and the high-school tests.

The questions remain:

1. Do the test prep companies that charge a lot of money have information about the tests that you can only get if you pay the test prep companies?
2. Do the test prep companies that charge a lot of money give kids whose parents pay for test prep an advantage that kids whose parents don't pay for test prep don't have?

Well, and also 3. If the test prep companies that charge a lot of money don't give kids whose parents pay for test prep an advantage that kids whose parents don't pay for test prep don't have, are the test prep companies that charge a lot of money committing fraud?[/quote]

My kid prepped for HS magnet and was accepted to all programs DC applied.  I did not have my kid attend because I thought that the prep company offered a secret sauce.  I prepped because I didn't think my DC would study hard enough for what's on the test without it.  There are lots of resources available for one to prep without spending thousands.[/quote]
