I'm not the expert to ask for an opinion, but I'm guessing that someone will want to know the FAT subscores.

Verbal was 70, quantitative and nonverbal 83

Parents weren't given the subset scores for 2nd graders. Only the vqn was given in the screen shot/ FxAT letter.

I think GBRS of 14 plus is a shoe in for aap. NNAT of 98 is excellent.99% your kid will be in aap.

I am the nonexpert again. Does your child have a late birthday by any chance? If so perhaps that the committee will take that into account as pulling down the non-age-adjusted FAT. Or is there any special circumstance like not speaking English at home? The GBRS is certainly great. If 16% of children are being accepted I wouldn't see why that wouldn't be your child. But if only 10% or 7% not sure. At worst may have to take WISC on appeal? How did I do, those with more knowledge?

We did get the subtest scores, percentiles only but not the raw scores.

OP, as long as you have 1 high test score and high GBRS your kid should be in. No need to WISC unless on appeal.

Kids with high test scores and low GBRS have more difficulty getting in.

Yes, he is a beginning September birthday - so hopefully they will see that in terms of his FxAT score.

Does anyone know when in May the decisions are mailed- beginning, mid or late May? And what about when the appeal is due- is that also May or is that June? Thanks.

I think they would have to consider the effect of the quite late birthday. Good luck to your DC!

We found out that
GBRS = 13,
NNAT = 99 (139)
FxAT = VQN (90)
V = 63
N = 89
Q = 99

What are the chances?

My unscientific crystal ball says: Very good, or at least somewhat more likely than not.
