[quote=Anonymous]Parents,  it is the crazy tim of year where many people  are rushing to get the AAP process done.  I am seeing a lot of people saying that people asking if there kids have a chance, based on grades and scores.

That is not the critical information, based on watching the process for several years.  The process is the test scores and the schools evaluation of potential giftedness, based on the GBRS.  While you can not see the GBRS now (they have not been generated), you can talk to the AART or second grade teacher.  They should be familiar with your child.

When you post the scores, and only the scores, I can tell you what I think based on my algorithm, but that requires the GBRS.

Here is the algorithm: ( ( NNAT+CogAT Composite)/2 + GBRS*10)/2=AAP score
alternatively, AAP score is WISC FSIQ

if the AAP score is over 135, child seems safe
Is AAP score is below 120, be happy with gen ed.

As an example:  DD had tests of 120.  GBRS of 15;  Based on the algorithm, AAP score was 135, and she is in.

Other kids I have read about:  Tests of 140, GBRS of 7.  The AAP score would be: 105, and he was not in.

From what I can tell (based on data posted here), the cutoff for the AAP score has been firm between 125 and 128.  But, I only have what people post, and this is based on the past three years of data.
