[quote=Anonymous]Based on my limited research, the cogat or any verbal/quantitative assessment is [u]much [/u]more predictive of academic success and of a child's "abilities" than nnat, a nonverbal test (though cogat does also have nonverbal component as well). If you google something like "nnat predictive academic success" you can find some actual scholarly research on this and comparison of results of these tests as correlated to student outcomes. From my reading, nnat has almost no predictive value, but can be used to try to include minorities who might otherwise be overlooked (as previous poster mentioned). I would imagine the AAP admissions committee understands the research and purposes of NNAT. When I look back on old posts, I rarely see a child with a high COGAT/FXAT score being excluded from AAP - though this forum is such a small sample size of applicants (less than 1% of the thousands in the pool/screening group probably post?), and anonymous, so hardly useful.
