If really interested in the program then prepping is the wise choice. It really makes me wonder about the haters here. Those who prep will also get into the better colleges. Hate the game.

I'm the PP who first brought up the prepping, but not in the way you're assuming. If PP's kid wasn't enrolled in some sort of heavy duty CogAT cram program, then the 139 is a very high score. A kid with a score well into the 99th percentile should be included in a program that admits 16% of all FCPS 2nd graders, even if the kid attends a high SES school. PP likely should appeal. If they're reluctant, they should at least schedule a meeting with the AART to find out what advanced options their school has for advanced kids.


My child did one Cogat workbook so she was familiar with the type of questions that would be asked. Is that prepping?

I’m not a prepping purist and have no issue with prepping. Prepping could inflate your child’s score by maybe 1-15 points above what they would have otherwise scored. It’s up to you to determine how much the prepping may or may not have boosted your kid’s score and how you want to approach appeals.

My acceptance email doesn’t have a portal link and asked me to reply the email with my preferred option. I guess the email came in 30 minutes earlier than most of people is because we are impacted by boundary change. Sorry to make everyone anxious for 30 minutes 😅

153 Cogat, 160 NNAT, 99% and 94% I ready. Good report cards. Not in. Seriously, what is going on?


This one is unacceptable decision.


Definitely screwed up by HOPE.


What’s the highest Cogat score? My DD got all 50 items correct on quantitative and got 152. I assume 152 is the highest score. PP’s score is impressive. Definitely should appeal.


The highest score is 160 but there's really no difference between 152 and 160. Or really not much difference between 132 and 160 - the test isn't sensitive at the edges, it just finds "high".

You seem like an insecure parent. Why are you asking for permission to buy one or ten cogat workbooks for your child? Do what you can afford. If you are rich, you should have enrolled them in private preschools that makes high cogat scores possible or if you are poor like me buy workbooks.


Shame on me. I didn’t even know prepping for this was a thing. Honestly, I didn’t even know what cogat was. I thought people were talking about coryat, but did find it odd 8 year olds were that into Jeopardy. Either way, I got an email saying he got in. Trying to figure out if this is something he should do or not. I think the alternate school isn’t very good.

Glad I didn't listen to the upper middle class who use private preschools to prep their kids, and instead used cheap cogat/nnat workbooks. Based on scores alone, kid is IN. Saved me the stress worrying about Hope and dealing with appeals charades.

I prepped my kid, but I don't think it changed his score that much. Consistent error rate throughout. So I just laugh.
