[quote=Anonymous]OP,

I know two different people, two different kids who scored in the 1st percentile and in the 5th percentile.  Now, if I saw that on a score sheet, I'd be freaking out a little too.... but I know both of these kids.  They are totally normal kids.  They might not be geniuses, but they are getting along just fine.  One just made straight As (7th grade) for the second semester.  The other is a totally normal boy, no learning disabilities, (3rd grade).

I don't know why their scores were so low.  I suspect that they either didn't "get" what they were supposed to do, and/or they didn't complete a lot of the questions (maybe they were thinking about one question and just never moved away from it).  Anyway, it's disconcerting to see a very low score, but it really does NOT mean anything in terms of mental fitness.  Your child probably isn't going to AAP, but still can be an "A" student (or "B" student or just a normal, successful person).

Please don't stress and assume there is something wrong with your child.  They just didn't "get" the NNAT stuff.[/quote]
