[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how it is done at your child's school -- I won't assume it's the same, but I don't think there is any referral for level 3 services... it's a referal for level 4 or whatever the aart wants to do.

I'm surprised you say your child is strong in math but not in LA.  The NNAT score, IME, relates more to math ability than LA.  So, with a 118 NNAT, you might expect that the CogAT would be lower if LA is actually not a strong suit.

FWIW, my DD had a 118 on NNAT and a higher cogAT b/c of LA being superior... but still, the composite was just a point off the automatic cut off.  We did not refer.  Math has always been a bit of a struggle, although she has been in adv. math for the past 3+ yrs.  It has not been easy for her.  That's what I think of when I see a 118 NNAT.... math is not super strong, but with effort, can hang in there.

I contrast that with my other child whose NNAT was 149.  Math IS his strong suit and LA is not his greatest.  His verbal was more in the 92-94% (I can't remember exactly).... and it shows.  The 149 reflects his logical nature.  The 92-94% in LA is reflected in his resistance to writing (he is in AAP).

You will need to wait and see what the CogAT scores are == there may be a significant difference.  But, if 118 is the highest score, I'd be hesitant to put the pressure of AAP on him.[/quote]

The NNAT is more related to the nonverbal part of the CogAT than the quantitative part.  Op, you should know whether your child is strong in math or not.  My DC has always gotten 4s and now As in math, and did not do that great on the NNAT.  DC is in level IV AAP and math is DC's strongest subject despite NNAT scores.  Don't let someone who has no personal experience with your chilf tell you whether your child is strong in math.
