[quote=Anonymous]If funny FCPS actually sent out meaningful data but most of you parents seem to be too dumb to see it.  Thats ironic since its all about your kid trying to qualify for the AAP pool.  You want your kid in, just refer.  Its that simple.  Oh but let me guess, you dont want to fork over the 4 hundy for the wisc and you think FCPS is forking you so you have to go that route.  
Anyway this percentile data is rating your kid against all others in Fairfax county only.  A 132 a year ago or any previous since that was based on a universe of all kids taking the cogat across the US.  A 132 now probably would have translated into something like 138-140 on the old system.  Average SATs in Fairfax county are 10% higher than the nation.  I dont think you can throw the full 10% on top of 132 but I think the 138-140 would be a reasonable forecast.  
Considering the percentiles were sent, it does not really matter what the iqish score is.  The point is to create a threshold to automatically join the aap pool without referral.  That was accomplished.  Would you people be happier if they sent a iq type of score as well, say 128 was the threshold to make it for this year and your kid scored 127 and did not make it.  Its the same result either way.

Looking at this chart
http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/SATIQ.aspx
95 percentile is 123.  When looking at scores at fairfax kids only, that sounds realistic to me.  In the end it might not make any difference with the in pool outcome anyway and probably does not.[/quote]
