If whites have tutors come to their houses and prep their kids for AAP that is not shameless? At least the Asian lady is not hiding what she is doing unlike most whites who pretend that only Asians prep while they spend more money and effort prepping. We should call them preppy whites.
The shameless part is that this woman is teaching children to cheat on the test, and the tutor and parents see no problem sitting around in public teaching kids to cheat.

Anything that gets them thinking about patterns and shapes.

Prep....you'll be happy you did. I'm curious why people are criticized for prepping for the nnat but not the SAT.

Which is why they make up 50% of the AAP classes. I prepped my Caucasian, he scored 99% and was admitted. No regrets. Take the high road, don't prep and feel good about yourself when your borderline application is rejected.
Smug much?
For what it's worth, my kid and all of his friends in AAP didn't prep and got in anyway. Not that it matters. It is grade school after all, not Harvard. You've got a looooonng road of pushing ahead of you.

I have a rising 1st grader and understand he will take the NNAT this fall. Looking on amazon, I can't find a good test prep book. Any recommendations for specific books?
I know this will be flamed of course and do appreciate any helpful responses to my question.
