155.

Kid gets 3s and 4s in school and is more interested in friends than classwork.

Confused... dd got 134 And 98th percentile
Is 155 possible? What was the raw score in that case? Perfect?

Score is relative to age hence someone born in October (oldest in class) getting all correct answer would get lower score due to age factor compare to someone born in September with 48/48 correct.

DD (1st grader) got full score 160 (48/48 correct), 99 percentile.

Had to throw it in there, right?

That's because there is no 100 percentile. 99th percentile is the highest.

I don't think the above poster is bragging (although they should be proud that is an amazing score) but I think people forget:
The Flynn effect
and
http://insideschools.org/news-&-views/1600-kids-score-in-top-percentile-on-gt
When you have 11% of children scoring in the top 1% (even taking into account the Flynn effect and that these children might come from an “elevated gene pool”-aka Lake Wobegone), it begs some questions.....

It's funny that the article suggests that the change to the NNAT will help to diminish the advantages those who prep get. I guess they aren't familiar with the NNAT test prep centers that thrive in Fairfax County, and that will soon take over New York.

Proud is an odd word, but yes, she's bragging. Can't do it in real life (except to dad, grandma, etc.) so it has to be done here so she has the ability to express it SOMEWHERE to SOMEONE else. Ahhhh...and boy, did it feel good to do so!

Parents constantly brag about their kids athletic abilities. Why can't you brag about your child's intellectual abilities?

You should be proud and you shouldn't have to apologize for it!

Really? Then do so in real life. Be loud and proud about it. What's your real name?

Bragging about academics and sports both bother me.

I can't understand why certain people have to criticize child achievement! What is the use of these forums if people can not share information? Bragging is to you is sharing to someone else!
If you don't have something better to say about six-seven years old child achievement, don't write, move on.

If the question was what was your kid's score and percentile, then the purpose is to answer it. If the question is not that, then throwing it your specific kid's score gratuitously, rather than saying a kid can't get above a 99 percentile even with all answered correctly, is what will get knocked down. No one is knocking your kid down. Just wait though. LOTS of parents brag on here about the nnat and then the harder cogat results come out and they are not squawking as loudly then.

My son got a perfect score too, so not a hard thing to do. All 48 correct, yet only 99 percentile. Older in class. This thread is about results, so ignore the whiners that think this is bragging. Anonymous bragging, yah right, what a joke. If a parent came in and posted a bad score, would they get accused of seeking sympathy? This is about the results of a very basic test.

Nnat is a politically correct test that does not measure what is needed to succeed in the AAP program.
