I believe it is normal if one kid is in another can get in as CogAT is ability test not the achievement test and most siblings score similar unless one has learning disability.  
[b]Besides requirement to be considered for AAP is 132 and above in atleast one subtest not the SAS score.[/b]
Just because DD thought it was hard doesn't mean DD didn't do good on it so, she probably did fine.

This is incorrect.  The only requirement to be considered for AAP is that either the child needs an in-pool score [b]or the parents need to fill out a referral.[/b]  Anyone can refer their children, and all referred children must be considered for AAP.

Also, while last year the in-pool benchmark used any sub score of 132 or higher, the previous 3 years all required a composite of 132 or higher.  You can't assume it will be based on a single sub score again this year, since they will select a cutoff based on how high the scores are on a county-wide basis.  [/quote]

Thank you for clarifying that, I was only referring to automatic in-pool consideration.  according to FCAG.org which states "If one or more of the test scores equal or exceed the cutoff being used that year for that test, these students are automatically evaluated for possible admission to the GT Center program starting in third grade."  The requirement for the in-pool is equal or exceed cutoff of one or more not the composite.

"One or more test scores" = Either NNAT or CogAT[/quote]

"Now, students are selected for a larger automatic screening pool based on minimum scores with respect to each subtest within the CogAT or the Naglieri overall score. The specific tests and scores required on those tests changes regularly." http://www.fcag.org/gtfcps.html[/quote]
