The answer is no one knows. What type of school is your child at? A Title 1 or a high SES or something in between.

A 135 is a great score, my child had an 135 on the NNAT and CoGAT, but it is no longer a guarantee of being in-pool. There are schools were a 135 will seem to be low, it’s not. It is in the 99th percentile but compared to [b]a cut off of 140 or higher[/b], a 135 is less exciting.

My kids grades were pretty much all 4’s, there was the occasional 3 in writing due to their handwriting being sloppy. Writing was called out as something that they were not strong at in the GBRS’s but that comment was balanced with a comment on how well spoken they are and how they were advanced in their verbal explanation. Math was never in question

I would guess that any child with mainly 3’s is going to struggle to get into AAP regardless of test scores. They are not showing that they are mastering material that is moving at a pretty slow pace in first and second grade so why would they need an advanced class that moves at a faster pace?

But that is a guess, which is the best that any of us can do here.

How do you know the cut off is 140 or higher?[/quote]
