[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know if this applies to FCPS?

"Many school districts have modified or will modify their eligibility requirements for the upcoming school year,  making it even more difficult to qualify for your school's gifted program.

In the past, some school districts have used the criteria that students must receive a top percentile ranking (94th percentile or 96th percentile) in one of the exam areas (such as the verbal portion of the CogAT exam).  Many school districts are now requiring students to receive a top percentile ranking on the composite score (all test areas combined - verbal, quantitative AND nonverbal).  These scores are often being combined with scores on state achievement exams or exams such as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS).

In addition, schools are increasing the percentile rankings required.  At least one school district is requiring a student receive a score in the 99.7th percentile on the Cognitive Abilities Test which is the top .3% or 3 students out of 1,000 taking the exam."[/quote]
