[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NNAT (Naglieri Nonverbal Abilities Test) is taken in February of 1st grade with scores coming home to parents in April or May. 
CogAT (Cognitive Abiliies Test) is taken in October of 2nd grade with scores coming to parents in January. 
Also in January, they set the cutoff for the 2nd grade screening pool. This year and many years it was 132 on either test. We got the letter telling us we were in pool in the same envelope as our CogAT score but not everyone does. This is school specific. If you are in pool, you are automatically considered for AAP, with decisions in early April. If not, you can fill out a parent referral to be considered. Parent referrals are due in mid January. Most people end up getting their CogAT score just days before (or even after!) the referrals are due. 
The other big score considered is the GBRS (Gifted Behaviors Rating Scale). The child is rated 1-4 in four categories for a total possible score of 16. A team (at our school it is 2nd grade teacher, AART, reading specialist, and principal) come up with the score and provide supporting commentary. This is put together for all kids in pool and those referred by parents. [/quote]

Just want to ask a quick question: I see other posts saying about WISC IV & V test. Do kids have to take that test beside those NNAT & CogAT? Thanks[/quote]
