[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]132 used to be the magic number to automatically be "in pool".  Then about 2/3 of those kids got accepted.

Nowadays pool placement depends on your base school.  Some have cutoffs in the high 120s, others above 140.  You can always parent refer, regardless of score.[/quote]

your scores are from NNAT, not CogAT.  CogAT has nine stannine calculated from raw score,  96% and above is 9 being highest,  89%-95% becomes 8.  Anything below probably is not good. [/quote]

Previous poster is likely referring to the composite score of COGAT, which is a numerical score just like the NNAT, and what most people on the forum tend to list when it comes to specifying the COGAT score.

For the OP, if you're relying on the test, and not glorification from your school's teacher/panel, you likely want to be above 132+ composite score to be competitive, but the individual scores need to also substantiate skills in both math/Language arts, else they'll just consider level III push-ins to be acceptable.  140's are generally (not always) shoo-ins.  We had 136 NNAT/136 COGAT, and were NOT in pool in the Chantilly Pyramid, but parent referred and were accepted.  DC had VERY high math, and middling reading COGAT scores, so our package and samples were largely based on supporting the reading/writing strengths.[/quote]

For a few years all you needed was a 132 in any of the CoGAT areas to be in-pool or on the NNAT. So a 132 in verbal or non-verbal or quant or composite and you would be in-pool. There were kids with higher Quant scores who had lower verbal and non-verbal scores and not hit a 132 composite that would be in-pool. Normally those kids would end up with Advanced Math and not in LIV but they were still in-pool.

In-pool simply meant that you were automatically considered and they were looking to include as many kids as they could in-pool. [/quote]
