FxAT came home in Friday folder:

Verbal: 131
Quantitative: 121
Nonverbal: 129
Composite: 131

Maxed NNAT and so should be in the pool. But haven't received the letter yet.

Wondering if we should submit additional materials since FxAT results are not ideal. Child feels really bored at school.

Thanks! Did the form state what percentages those scores were?
Seems like a sure thing to me with the high NNAT score.

Yes. There are two percentage columns: age percentage (national) and local percentage (born in August, and so age percentage much higher).

Verbal: 131, 97%, 96%
Quantitative: 121, 91%, 78%
Nonverbal: 129, 97%, 91%
Composite: 131, 97%, 92%

Thanks to those who suggested additional materials. We'll at least do the questionnaire. Elder sibling went to AAP and really liked it.

It is strange how much the quantitative percentile differs between local and national, but verbal percentiles are quite similar.

When did the schools kow about the "in pool" designations? What date? Thx!

No ma'am, I'm not sharing that info. The board will blow up.

The huge difference on my son's score was the nonverbal section--over 20 percentile points lower in Fairfax than nationally. What's up with that?

18:11- how on earth can you possibly predict that? You can't know from a single score on a test how they will perform on a subject
In a class.

Logically, they have to know sooner than now, so the AARTs can pull out the "in pool" kids in order to get work samples and info for the GBRS.

Not wowed by the quantitative scores -- it is likely your DC will be behind other AAP kids in math.

Wow, I totally disagree. At the slow rate they teach math in K-2, this kid could have a lot of aptitude but just hasn't been taught the concepts yet. How many kids are getting outside Kumon and etc that bumps up their math scores who he is being compared to on the FFX percentiles?

Just asked b/c teacher said 9 days ago she was sure my kid's results would put her in the pool and she thought she'd be we'll suited for AAP. I was wondering if the teacher already knew she was in the pool when she said that.

Agree.

My kid said they recently added kids to the pull out group. I am sure it had something to do with test results and needing to get the kids seen more by the AART. It is only logical that they have some time to evaluate those kids before all the parent nuttiness starts.

Sorry, I'm a wimp...I'm leaving out the school name. But it's not one of the ones listed above, nor is it in any of those geographic areas.

Please tell us the school's name - your are making us all curious. No one would know who you are, would he/she?

Yes, they might--we only send a few kids to AAP each year. Really not trying to be coy!

I love having principals and teachers on these boards. They're the reason I come, because they have the real info.

The answer to this question is late Dec/early Jan-a long time-they just choose to keep it a secret until the last minute-a wicked game!!!!!!
