[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, my DS score came out for NNAT. he scored 121. 90 percentile. i know its low score. please let me know what else he can do to be in pool?[/quote]

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. [/quote]
