[quote=Anonymous]My child is currently a second grader. They (used in a gender neutral way) took the NNAT in February without a moment of prep (I was snowed under juggling full time work and the demands of the pandemic). I figured that because my child is bright and a logical thinker, they should be able to excel regardless. I got my child's score back and it was a 119. A totally fine score, but also not one that seemed to reflect their abilities. I requested a one-time retake, bought a book on Amazon with three practice tests, we spent a limited amount of time practicing those problems. I got the score on the retake yesterday and it was a 151. I genuinely didn't expect a score that high. But it's also wild that a low degree of practice can make that much of a difference. I'm not sure what lesson to take away from this, but figured it may be worth sharing to others considering whether to prep. (I know, I know... no one should prep for this test; that's not what's intended to be measured. But also, it's wild that my child who is someone who would be a quintessential fit for AAP in almost every other way--and might have been selected regardless--could potentially have been missed.)[/quote]
