[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS did surprisingly well on the NNAT (99th%).  He is very good with numbers, but if you looked at his written work posted in the school hallways, you wouldn't be impressed.  In fact, his written work is less "mature" and less complete than other kids.  (DS is young for his grade.)

If a child has a very high NNAT, but CogAT does not meet the "in pool" benchmark, what are the chances they will be invited to AAP?

FWIW, older child (girl) is the opposite -- very high in verbal, but only average high in quantitative.  Definitely see the stereotypical gender-based strengths playing out in them.[/quote]

OP, we have the same experience as yours. My son did surprising well on NNAT last year but he was below average in reading, and one of the worst in writing. We spent some time helping him with reading and spelling over the summer and this year, he did much better in reading, but still bad in writing assignments. He scored above 95th percentile on FAT mainly because of quantitative and nonverbal so last year's test was not a random error. We don't know what to expect for AAP decision as he truly is not advanced at all on DRA or writing...[/quote]
