[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,
We had applied for full time AAP for our DC who is a 4th grader in FCPS school. DC took Cogat in School and got (in terms of Local Percentile Rank) Verbal 90%, Quant  98%, Nonverbal 91% and Composite 97%. And raw scores of Quant 149, Nonverbal 124, Verbal 122 and composite VQN total of 139. We were wondering if this score is good enough to get in Full time AAP? Is there a cut-off Cogat score for this year in FCPS for 4th graders? If DC doesn’t get accepted, for appealing should DC take WISC and try for better score? Also do iReady scores matter?

DC didn’t have good HOPE rating by the teacher. So wanted to plan ahead to see if WISC needs to be taken or need to focus more on the work samples for appealing. We believe the work samples submitted were good, but we are not sure the chances of acceptance.

Thank you all in advance for your input and feedback!

Since it is "holistic,"  there isn't an explicit cut-off.  139 VQN is very good, in spite of the lower verbal and nonverbal %.  Was there an NNAT score (percentile)? How was the last  iReady reading?  Third grade report card?  If all of those are excellent, you might not need a WISC.  However, if they are consistently lower than the math scores, you may want the WISC or just let the chips fall where they may.  It might not be ideal to move into AAP in 5th grade anyway.
