It has nothing to do with bragging or one-upmanship. If the other threads regarding this years CoGat/FAT are to be believed, the NNAT is going to be the only nationally normed test to help determine the AAP pool. I sure hope all of this talk about the COGat scores being normed on a school by school or cluster by cluster in order to adjust for SES are just pure bunk.... Or we have a bIg cluster F&$k on our hands..... |
Sorry, still don't buy it. Your post asked for others' scores and the school names. You can look at the baseline score this year (132) for the NNAT and use that as your guide to get the information you sought in the quote above. What other kids get isn't really relevant...You have your score. You see on the form where your kid falls based on the other kids in the nation. My kid did great...so I'm not writing because I have sour grapes. |
What do you mean by "baseline score"? I'm confused from the changes that have been discussed. In years past, my older kids hovered around 100 and were in the 50 percentile, which made sense. Is 132 the "average" this year, for lack of a better term? |
| Wow! Based on the discussion here, I'm glad I don't have kids. But I seriously wish you all had to pass some IQ tests to be parents!!! |
I think asking for the school is a bit intrusive and I'm not sure how it's helpful to you. AAP Admission is not per school, all kids in the county that are in the pool or referred get looked at together. Maybe limiting you request to scores and percentile might get you more constructive responses. |

| This thread smacks of a Playboy Miss America Contest without the bikinis. |
| Thank you to those whom are posting serious responses-so tired of all the snark in these parts.... |
You are such a crybaby. |
So really, why are you even reading this thread topic? C'mon. |
This thread reminds me of the NNAT thread last year Many parents were upset at hearing other kids scores.
This site is self-selective. When their kids tested very well, or lower than expected, parents come here to vent. I am not surprised by the many high scores. Think about it, there are about 700-1200 kids who score above 132 on NNAT each year. What we see here is really a small proportion of them. |
| 160. Full score. 99% |
| 12:51, Congrats! That is very impressive! |
| op 12:51 here. Yes, I am so proud of my DS. It is interesting what he could achieve in the next year's Cogat. |
