&quot;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.&quot; http://www.fcag.org/gtfcps.html[/quote]

They change their benchmarks on a yearly basis, though.  So, no one knows whether this year will use subtest scores or just the composite.  By my understanding, around 8 years ago, they used any subtest score &gt; 130.  Then they switched to composite &gt; 130.  Then it was composite &gt; 132.  Just last year, they switched from composite &gt; 132 to any subtest score &gt; 132, or was it 130?.  They want to capture about 10% of the kids in the pool, so they'll adjust the cutoff to do so.  Until they officially release the pool benchmarks, I wouldn't assume anything.  [/quote]

one of the reason why they changed to 132 from 130 is because the standard deviation changed from 15 to 16, they are basically same score but calculated differently.  but yes, I do agree they do change the requirement.  Where can you find the pool benchmarks used in previous years?  As far as I know it has always been subtests for CogAT since 2010, combined for NNAT.[/quote]

Nevermind, guess they post it on aap site by mid Jan.  Since I did not follow the requirements for past few years, I guess I am wrong to assume that it has always been subtests although FCAG site lists as such.[/quote]
