[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Additional testing is not required (my oldest was accepted to AAP as a rising fourth grader without any, after having been rejected by the committee the prior year and then principal placed in the AAP class).

You will need to complete a new referral packet complete with work samples.  I had no problem collecting those during the third grade year.[/quote]

It may not be required, but may be advisable depending on the scores the child received the first time around.  Many kids close to the benchmark score are rejected.  If your kid is one of those, you may be fine.  If the scores were a lot lower, it may be advisable to do a retake of the CogAT.  You can request one this fall for free from the school.  DC's friend was principal placed but was found ineligible on subsequent referral.  I don't know the scores, so can't say why, but it indicates that being principal placed doesn't guaranteed being found eligible for level IV.  I'd say build the strongest packet you can, which might mean a retake if the initial scores were low. [/quote]
