[quote=Anonymous]My son has ADHD and struggles to focus on long reading or writing tests because the paragraphs are lengthy and require sustained attention. I’ve avoided medication since it affects his appetite, and he’s already on the shorter side. Despite this, we’re applying to AAP because he is exceptionally bright, particularly in math and social studies. His CogAT composite score is 133, with strong performance in the non-verbal and quantitative sections, but his verbal score is much lower at 108.

He scored in the 99th percentile for i-Ready math but only the 68th percentile in reading. He didn’t enjoy reading at all until a couple of years ago but began to improve significantly thanks to an amazing teacher. When tests aren’t timed, his writing is much better, especially during the revision process. I feel we need to show that his reading and writing aren’t as weak as they might seem. We’re focusing on math work samples for the application, but I’m wondering if that’s enough. Do you think he has a good chance of being accepted into AAP?[/quote]
