Iready and cogat

[Anonymous]

Hello

Is there any Iready winter test ?
How can I prep my kid for it?
Actually we are new here I just saw my son Iready test score and I surprised
He always get full mark in math at school test and never need my help !
His score 85% and he usually do better
He is good reader and he read hours daily but his reading score 80%
But it’s ok since english is not his first language but what can I do to improve his scores
Does this scores effect in AAP ? His cogat score 141
Thank you . You are really helpful and I just figured out alot of information about school systems here!

They will use the fall Iready scores for the AAP package, winter Iready is not until January (maybe even after the AAP packets are due to the committee).

It might be too late for this year, in the parent form you should let them know English is their second language.

Yep, only fall iready is submitted w packet. If you end up appealing you can submit winter scores w appeal.

Don't they only take the Winter iReady if they are below zone? DD only has scores for Fall and Spring last year as a 2nd grader (99% each time).

Maybe Advanced Math, based on the Q score. His iReady scores and the rest of his scores do not r3ead like an AAP kid. It also depends on what school you are at, a high FARMs school or a lower middle class school where the overall scores are likely to be lower and you might have a better chance.

And yes, I know that they are not supposed to take schools into consideration but we know that happens otherwise there would be very few kids in from Title 1 schools and a lot more from the higher SES schools.

Social Economic Status: ie poor vs middle class vs rich. Poorer schools tend to have lower test scores then rich schools.

Your school will likely submit a decent writing sample, and with those scores, your child is likely in. In odd chance it doesnt happen, be prepared to appeal and have your own writing sample to submit.

What do you mean by “writing samples”?!
My son writing is not that good but he is very good in reading and math .
When the appealing time ? And is it allowed to provide a coding samples ?

Both the CoGAt and iReady are different than test they receive on a regular basis and it is not surprising they won't get a perfect score.

Have you ever looked at the 2020 external committee report? The NV and V are well within range for admitted AAP kids. In fact there was a note in the 2020 report that many teachers claim that too many students in AAP read below grade level.

This board wants to act like AAP is still GT and only 5% of kids belong in it. But that's not the case.
