Chill parents

This is incorrect. Sorry

So I’m confused—they are or are not doing the NNAT for first graders this year? Or has that decision not been made yet?

Do you really think FCPS is going to let 1st and 2nd graders into the building?

Yeah, they are not


They also cannot give the tests virtually because parents will just cheat.

So, ergo, no tests for AAP

It is actually correct. I have heard that NNAT will only be administered to students who have never taken it before. But no Cogats or repeat NNATS.

Yes, 1st and 2nd graders will be in the building in October. Only half of them, though, so no Cogat.

Yup. There is no way to force children to come into the building to take the test. And you can say that there is no access to AAP if you don’t take the test in person during a pandemic.

This is going to be a test optional year folks. Just toss all of those prep workbooks and courses and let your kids play outside

That doesn’t make any sense. Why would they offer the NNAT to first graders but not the CogAT to 2nd graders?

Just an added info: If a second grade student missed the NNAT test in 1st grade, he/she will be able to take the test between 12/1 and 12/7

My other child got a 117 on the NNAT and a 142 on the cogat.

So sometimes the NNAT is not an accurate test for some kids.

They are not going to use only NNAT. Reading test (iReady) report cards, GBRS, work samples will also be used. Why worry?

Fcps should eliminate aap.

Relative dates are posted. Amazing the utter nonsense people post here assuming FCPS hasn't already pushed out the message themselves. Though I agree FCPS could just publish an email blast noting the AAP testing for 1st and 2nd graders and how it may/may not change. The lack of transparency causes all kinds of rumor mills and then parents stress out.

Look at this carefully! The NNAT is ONLY administered if NO previous scores. And there is NO mention of CoGats. Read the chart and requirements.

FCPS has made the decision to forgo the Cogat this year, but 1st and 2nd graders are planned to be in the building. They don't have to all take the test on the same day. There's no reason the kids couldn't take the Cogat.

Read even more carefully. First graders will take the NNAT. If there's no NNAT on file, then second graders will take it too.
