[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s more than one pro nnat poster. R u the only pro cogat poster??

Real life situations:
[b]Boy got a 128 cogat, 108 nnat, 118 WISC and got into aap. Kid thinks he’s brilliant, but he’s just average and WISC confirms this. Would do just fine in general education. Really doesn’t belong in aap. A solid kid with strengths in math but not superior in anything![/b]

Girl got a 155 nnat, 142 cogat, 145 WISC. Kid doesn’t think she’s brilliant. Just wants to do the best she can. Is in aap.

Boy got a 138 nnat, 118 cogat. Needed to appeal. WISC showed add inattentive. GAI 145 fsiq 120 because of low processing speed. In aap.

The best indicator of “needing” aap is the WISC. An average WISC without 2E is not a kid who needs aap. But aap is full of solidly average/above average kids. Only a handful of actual superior or genuis kids.

I don't have a dog in this fight this year (my oldest kid got in last year) and my younger ones are still early elementary, but the bolded puzzles me because there were parents last year posting whose kids had scores higher than this and they didn't get in on appeal. Was this kid accepted first round or did you have to appeal? Do you know what the GBRS was? [/quote]
