[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there some understood number below which it is definitely very unlikely to get AAP admission? I understand it's a holistic decision, etc., but is there some conventional wisdom on the cutoffs for the test scores? [/quote]

This is all anecdata.  I know of kids who were admitted to AAP with NNAT scores below 100.  I also know of kids who were admitted to AAP with CogAT composite scores in the 115-120 range.  I don't know of anyone being admitted with CogAT composite scores below 115.  So, IME CogAT composite scores below 115 are too low to be in the ballpark for AAP.[/quote]

Anecdotally, one of my kids was admitted with both Cogat and NNAT above 136 and my other kid was admitted with NNAT of 105 and no Cogat due to covid.  He was rejected first round and admitted on appeal, fwiw.  Iready scores were all 95th (math) and 98th (reading) percentile - he's not a mathy kid so the NNAT wasn't a surprise.  [/quote]

Mine, too (the lower score one). They got all 4s in class, pass advanced in SOL, and 90+ percentile in Iready.
Some kids are not great test takers (pre-AAP) and they have to work at it. It doesn't mean they are not smart enough for AAP.
