[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I could not disagree more.  First, the tests were administered in October, I believe, and they are computer scored.  Do you really think that this kind of delay in getting them out is not squarely in the control of Fairfax County?[/quote]
Newsflash: FCPS does not score them - they are sent out to be scored. PLUS this year was the first year for the Fairfax Abilities Test. Ever heard of things taking a little more time the first time around?

[quote=Anonymous]They were sent out weeks earlier in previous years.[/quote]
False. Not for at least the past three years. Scores have been/were very delayed. In fact, parents that phoned the FCPS AAP offices were advised to ready a referral "just in case" the scores did not reach parents in time.

[quote=Anonymous]Second, by delaying them they put parents who want to refer their kids to the pool in a box.  By not seeing the scores, there is little to no time for a retest of the CoGat at GMU[/quote]
Good luck with that. GMU will not do a retest using the CogAT for at least a year after the last administration of the CogAT.

[quote=Anonymous]or to schedule a WISC IV.[/quote]
A WISC is not needed for a parent referral. It is often advised for an APPEAL but the APPEAL deadline is [b]MAY 31[/b]. That is plenty of time to schedule a WISC.

[quote=Anonymous]At this point only those in the pool know where their kids stand, I don't believe there were letters sent that saying "your kid was very close, but is not in the pool, if you are going to do a referral and alternative test, start working on it".

So you now want FCPS to send a letter to the parents of over 13K 2nd grade students?!?  :roll:
