[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many points above grade level were your kids on iready?  Mine was only a few points above grade level on reading, and now I'm worried that the achievement score + meh verbal CogATs won't look good enough for AAP. [/quote]

Grade level is a range it’s from 500 to 550. Again this is target for iready assesment in spring. My child’s score was 575. It’s the composite score for reading.
Her Math iready was 427 whereas on level expected by spring assessment is 450 to 500.

I would like to add that AAP is about potential so these score should not matter heavily. Kids can under perform. My child has almost not done any regular homework or studying since last spring. These scores are impressive for that. Plus my child was often sick last year one of the reasons not prepping for the NNAT. She is doing a little better this year. [/quote]

I feel a bit better now, since my kid had a respectable 567 in reading.  Math score was very high, so there are no worries there.  I disagree that the score shouldn't matter much, though.  As AAP is currently set up, both the kids with high potential and the kids who currently have high achievement should be included.  I would hope that very high scores would help a child's case for AAP.  Or at least, I hope the reasonably high achievement score will compensate for the mediocre CogAT Verbal score.  [/quote]
