To those of you who didn't "prep" but asked people who had the tests what was on the OLSAT or BRSA and made sure that your kid was drilled with those concepts (certain shapes, double digits, etc) get off your high horse. You cheated too. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I didn't prep or do what you just described, but have no problem with people who did. It is not an IQ test - therefore, it is the type of test that should be prepped. The DOE even gave a "practice" test. If prepped mentthe differnce b/t a 93 and 99 for someone with bad district options so be it. Good for them. [ Reply | More ]

Who knew someone who had the test? This has to be a pretty small population. I try and stay away from the social science crowd myself. [ Reply | More ]
