[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The NNAT and the CogAT are far too easy to prep for. The report found that the NNAT was not something considered by the committee when selecting AAP students. The GBRS and CogAT, specifically the Quant score, seemed to be the most important factors. The NNAT costs a ton of money to hold, isn't used in the fashion that FCPS wants it used, and is easy for parents to prep their kids for so the scores are not really representative of anything for a decent percentage of the kids. So why should they keep it?

I would hope that the school board was spending time on the recommendations that struck me as most useful, ending parent referral and ending appeals since those are used disproportionately by UMC families. The other recommendation was if referrals were dropped that the in-pool test score be lowered from the normal 132 or that any child in the top 10% of their individual schools scores should be considered in-pool.

How the heck do you prep for the NNAT?[/quote]
