[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1. Thank you for the info. The percentiles are by all 2nd graders, not by age groups. I hope they realize that it's unfair for younger kids. DD got 10+ higher score in NNAT even she missed one more question than an older kid. Age is game changer in raw score and score norm by age.[/quote]

I could not agree more.  My dc is a July birthday, and managed 95% composite and in one other category.  However, if it were age adjusted, the score would be higher, as there are kids a year older in his class.  I see others here saying it does not matter, as the purpose of the tests was only to determine the pool.  Aren't the scores evaluated as a final selection criteria among all applicants from the pool or who were referred in?

Also, I am curious as to how many kids who score into the pool are ultimately not admitted.   If a composite score on the CoGat is greater than 95%, that puts the kid in the top 5% of Fairfax County class, and the top 12-16% supposedly are ultimately center eligible.  Are low GIBR scores disqualifying a significant number of kids who test into the pool?   Of course this data is probably under lock and key.[/quote]
