Of course we prepped! Duh. If it matters to you do some homework!

You can apparently prep for the WISC, too. When we took our child in for the WISC, the examiner noted that DC had scored highest on the sections that "can't be prepped." The implications was that we could prep DC and come back in a year to get a higher score. The examiner mentioned how so many FCPS parents are really neurtotic about AAP and so many of them prep. It was clear form our DC's score that we hadn't prepped.


I am curious: What are the WISC sections that can be prepped?

If your child can read, write and add he was surely prepped. Please stop your obvious lies. Next you will tell us you kid came down your slippery vaginal shute with kindle in hand already able to read and write.


Perhaps you misunderstood. The score was not very high, that's why I think it was clear we had not prepped. The tester (at GMU) was basically implying that everyone preps and perhaps we should if we wanted DC to get into AAP. If you think this is an "obvious lie," fine. I'm really unconcerned. I was merely noting that apparently you CAN prep for the WISC.


Maybe you should have taken the GMU tester's advice. Your kid is destined for six years of general ed because you can't get with the program. All the kids are doing it, and your moral high road is only going to cost your kid the best education in the long road. If you can't beat them, join them.


Nope. I'm 100% comfortable with our decision not to push my child into AAP. AAP is not right for that child (we have another in AAP so I know what it's like). It's about what's best for my DC, not my ego.

It would be interesting to do a double blind study of the role of prepping. Baseline the kids with a WISC. Then, that 50 kids that are prepped and 50 are not. Compare the variation of WISC to cogat based on prepping.


You could not do the study in America because of libraries, schools, books, TV, internet and computers. Too many confounders. No internal or external validity. There would be no proper control and comparator groups. Try doing the study in Papua, New Guinea.

Is it possible that prepping is backfiring - many posters reported preping and kids in the 70s.

May e it makes them over think - and perhaps nervous because a big deal was made leading up to test?

Harvard, Stanford and MIT can tell whether a student has cheated or cracked open a book. Therefore, it does not pay to prep and cheat.

To prove my kid doesn't prep, he has gotten an A on every pop test or quiz in middle school so far. Prepping is not really necessary and distorts the true intellectual and academic picture. it's really akin to cheating as many have stated.



This isn't proof of anything....


It sure does. My child does not cheat. He hasn't opened a book in his life, done any work sheets or practised problems (in school or at home). His intelligence is innate and natural. It is not artificial.

Yeah, they value education so much more than the rest of us, who don't care enough about our children's future to try to game the system any which way and get them placed in AAP at any cost...
