| A 121 is not a low score. It is below the normal 132 threshold but it is a very good score. |

I am not saying your child will be selected for AAP. I am saying that the 90th percentile is not a low score. It doesn’t met FCPS threshold for automtic consideration for AAP but that doesn’t make it a bad score. |

OP, if you think being in the 90th percentile is a bad thing (i.e. low score), then you need help more than your child needs help raising that score.
He or she is in the 90th percentile! Not good enough for you??? That is the problem right there. Read: The Self Driven Child. We'll chat with you next year when you have the CogAT score. |

Serious answer: Buy a CogAt prep book on Amazon and work through it with your child. If your kid took the NNAT cold, doing a little prep work ahead of time may not have guaranteed an in-pool score, but it certainly wouldn't have gotten your kid a lower score. If you think the CogAt scores will be similar, this is an easy way to potentially save yourself a lot of $$ on a WISC if you decide to appeal. IMO if you (not the PP, but "you" in general) need to pay for a lot of enrichment classes to get the scores to qualify your kid is probably not a great candidate for AAP. I've seen this play out in my upper ES kid's AAP classes over the years and those kids usually have a tough time, especially when they have to take the 6th grade math SOL in 5th grade. I didn't know any of this when my oldest child was going through the process and ended up paying for a WISC--which yielded scores well above the cutoff and got my kid in on appeal--after my kid scored 129s on both tests w/o any prepping. I bet I could've saved a lot of time and money by just having DC do a couple review questions every night. No one likes to admit it, but there's a reason those books sell so well. |

| My daughter scored 121 on her nnat a couple years ago and I recall that fell into the "superior" range. Not a bad score at all. |

Did she end up AAP? |

I believe you are missing the point. Your child did well on a standardized exam. Being worried that a very good score, 90th percentile or so, is “low” because it is not an in pool score is not cool. Love the kid you have and understand that AAP does not mean your kid is better then not AAP. |
