| Purely curious and figure many parents want to know as well. Thanks! |

| Mine didn't. So congratulations, OP. Your DC is a better AAPer than mine. |

No, no one else. Just you. |

Sign up at https://www.peerpowerinc.com/ for your free query and look at your assigned user number. That'll tell you how many parents want to know. You could suggest to them that they compute the percentile of those who score 600 on both tests. |

| All AAP kids should be getting 600 or near 600 on the SOL tests. Otherwise there is no reason to separate these kids from the other kids. |

Wow. Then you are hate hearing that TJ only has about a 70% pass advanced rate. (TJ often doesn’t teach to SOLs). And that my TJ kid has probably only had 2-3 600s his whole career. They are crappily written tests of minimal competence. |

| My kids frequently got 600 or just below, always pass advanced. Neither in GT. One went to college, one didn’t. It means nothing. |

Then cogats mean nothing. |

SOLs are not designed to measure what cogats measure. SOLs are adaptive tests that measure specific curricula in VA schools. AAP kids often take an SOL on material they learned a year ago so they may miss a few more questions than if the material was fresh in their minds. Cogats are national normed aptitude tests of basic quantitative and verbal skills. |

Except in the great scheme of things, Cogars do mean nothing |

I agree. But it's not the same nothing as SOLs  .

| I read news regarding a 9 years old 5th grader who got 4 perfect SOL scores this years and going to 6th grade next year. SOL means something. |

Fifth graders don’t take four sols. Also, since they test on previously taught material, we don’t use it as a basis for grade skipping ever. |
