if your dc needs prep than they don't belong in the school you might actually get them into by prepping for a higher score. Let the chips fall where they may and don't push your dc. Let your dc be who your dc is. [ Reply | More

Read to her as much as you can, try mazes, puzzles, connect the dots and see what she likes. The BrainQuest games are fun. Nothing wrong with prepping, because, guess what, once they're "prepped" they're ready for the school they apply for? ERB doesn't test actual intelligence, it tests whether your child is ready to learn at the level the schools offer. If she can be prepped, she can learn, it's that simple. [ Reply | More

If this was true than dc's would test better the older they are. [ Reply | More

it's adjusted for age, so no, it's how much you've accumulated in the same time as someone else. [ Reply | More

The erb is the Wechsler Test of Primary and Preschool INTELLIGENCE. IQ test. Playdate and school report will confirm (or refute) prepping. [ Reply | More

I actually find the ERB fascinating as a test of incidental learning. Basically, schools that are selective are looking for kids who are easy to teach, and then they proceed to shower them with resources. Who wants a kid who is hard to teach, no matter how smart they are? It's a very interesting system. [ Reply | More
