[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, we will be moving to FCPS from out of state this summer. My 3rd grader is in the gifted program and accelerated math (1.5 years above grade level) at her current public school. We plan to apply for AAP over the summer. I've read what the FCPS website says about the process, but I have a couple of questions:

First, there appears to be no "packet" to complete for out of state applicants. Aside from report cards and Cogat/WISCV, the website just says we can submit other test results and work samples. Can/should we submit additional documents like teacher recommendations, parent letter, anything else?

Second, we'll likely do testing at GMU. Is there usually any difference in the results for Cogat/group testing vs. private? My child is better at math than reading, if one test is a better fit for that profile.

Thanks![/quote]

GMU has regular administrations of the COGAT.  The test is the same as what you would take in FCPS. The only difference is that it's one ~3 hour sitting rather than three, 1-hour sittings in FCPS.  FCPS has kids take the COGAT in one hour increments over three days.[/quote]
