[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just started to read these forums - not sure if this was covered in the past.  How does a child get a composite score that is higher than each battery score?  Also, if that is possible - which I did see - how is it that the county made the cut off a composite cut off rather than an individual battery cut off - especially given the test was out of 160 this year instead of 150?  (ie making it easier to get past the cut off despite a possibly easier test this year) Seems like AAP is getting less and less Advanced.  [/quote]

Also it is not AAP getting less and less advanced. It is your logic screwed. CogAt has 3 subject scores. The probablity of average of 3 subject scores meet cut off is much lower than any of one subject score meet cut off. That's way county used to limit in pool student. Think about when you are in college, it is much easier to get A in single subject then get A in overall GPA.

Yes there are senarios where composite higher than individual battery when scaled by age. But that will be very few cases which if the child is much younger than same group.
