Anyone received the AAP "pool" letter with CoGat scores? If so, which schools? We are still waiting in Cluster 8 in FCPS. Thanks! |
Still waiting in Cluster 1. I am guessing this Friday will be the earliest with next Friday being most likely! |
It wouldn't be surprising if they came out this Friday so there is an extra day for parents to calm down before they start calling the school. But then again, next Friday would give them 2 days because of the work days (although the school is still open so people might call). |
From another thread, supposedly the FCPS principals have been told of the scores and are requested to send out their pool letters next week.... |
if they have the scores and cutoff information, why wait till next week instead of mailing them now? What is the gain by doing all the drama, when anyone can parent refer their kids irrespective of the scores? |
what is cutoff score for this year?
|
132 for NNAT and 95 percentile for Fairfax Ability test |
If my kid only got 130 in NNAT last year, he has to be 95 percentile or above in CoGat so to get into the pool? |
Correct. |
Is it "or" or "and"? |
Sorry, it is an OR
NNAT 132 OR CogAT 95th percentile (this is only relevant to Fairfax kids). |
Will local school letter have both the Cogat scores and "in-pool" info? If quoted benchmarks are correct, we're already in-pool based on NNAT. But are waiting for official confirmation of that and Cogat scores. |
I have boy/girl twins. Still waiting on letters and CogAT scores. I do have a question, though...Girl scored 99%tile on NNAT, Boy scored 98%tile on NNAT. Anyone have twins where only 1 got in? I highly suspect that girl twin will get in, even teacher said that she would suggest high GBRS for girl. However, boy twin I am not too sure about. He is not like sister - she is VERY studious and LOVES everything about school. Just want to know what other parents did, in case only 1 gets in. FYI both twins really want to get in AAP, as older sister is in AAP. Thanks for any feedback. |
Today the school said that the pool letter will be sent FIRST by the end of next week/beginning of the following week and thereafter (day or two later) results (exact scores) are sent. |
Does anyone know is the 95% scaled by age groups or just by raw scores? If by raw scores only, older kids have big advantage in the game. The 1 year gap is big for this age. We have 2 September kids, considering red shirt the 2nd one. |
