I also know people, many people, who pay for COGAT/NNAT prep testing. So their kids take multiple practice test and receive instruction on how to solve the patterns etc.... The whole thing is just crazy the environment is so competitive. I just want my dd who loves to read and write to have a rewarding school experience and trying to achieve that is like walking through a field of landmines. I came to the board to for input on her test scores as a realty check looking for an objective opinion. Sometimes I worry that I'm getting caught up in the competitive whirl and losing all perspective :-(
