This thread touches on the fact kids had the exact copy of the test. That's not prepping; it's cheating. World of difference.


The wording used by FCPS was "prepared for the CogAT"

The screening committee knows what to look for. Personally, I trust them and the process over anonymous rants on DCUM.

Exactly! The PP seems to equate studying and preparation (prepping) with cheating. (A typical redirection though, still no FCPS published guidance, a DCUM rant is not qualified research)

It's analogous with the difference between taking an SAT prep class and getting a copy of the test ahead of time. Or for that matter, "prepping" in class for days for the SOL vs the teacher that changes answers on the score sheets. One is fine, the other is cheating.

FCPS has never published any guidance not to study and prepare. Never. Ever.
