FCPS AAP: Benchmark score for this year is 132

[Anonymous]

Just learned that the benchmark score for AAP this year is 132. CogAT scores will be mailed out next week.

Should have added - as previously posted, in-pool letters will also be mailed out next week.

Is it on the web-site? Can you please provide the link?

It is not on the website (yet). I learned this from the AART at our school.

does the benchmark score 132 apply to both NNAT and COGAT?

I believe so

Are NNAT scores being mailed at the same time? It is the same (mailout date) across all of FCPS?

Not sure about the NNAT scores. You may want to check with the AART at your school.

All of the in-pool letters and CogAT scores will be mailed out at the same time across the County.

There is really no rush, as I don't have a referral deadline to meet and am not getting an in pool letter yet (first grade.) I am only curious. So I bug the forum about when instead of the AART

Can anybody share what's the raw score (correct responses out of 48 ) needed in nnat2 1st grade test to achieve a score of 132 or higher?

Thanks

For those of us who don't have to deal with this can someone please provide a translation of the above conversation?

Am I correct that some threshold of 132 is quite high and a lot of parents whose kids come in lower than that are trying to angle to gain exception and admission to the program?

13:57, oh sweet newbie, start with the gt appeals thread from last year to get a taste. Add to that a thread about test prepping. Simmer for an hour, then get back to us.

For automatic AAP consideration (aka "the pool"), a 132 or higher is required on either the NNAT or any one subsection (not including the composite score) the CogAT.

However, anyone can refer their kid for consideration, regardless of scores.

132 is likely 98th percentile.

There is no "magic number" to get to score 132. They also look at your particular child's age at the time the test was taken. My kid did particularly well (138) on her NNAT even though her raw score was the same as her friends. Friend was six months older on test day, however.
