Sorry PP.  It may not be the most important thing in AAP eligibility; FCPS claims it's all "holistic" now which allows them limitless latitude in who gets in. Nevertheless,  you can request a retest, if you think this score doesn't reflect your child's abilities. [/quote]

Holistic is complete BS. My aunt (former AART in FCPS) says they evaluate both the NNAT and COGAT evenly. The cutoff for the NNAT in previous years is 132-134. Equity/race is also a big factor. On the packet that's sent to the committee there is a federal ethnic code that is filled out. My child scored a 109 on the NNAT and a 145 on the COGAT with near perfect GBRS and was rejected. I am not appealing. The process is complete BS. I can't believe one bad test means "NO AAP FOR YOU!!".[/quote]

Appeal.  You have the right scores to do so.

One low score does not preclude AAP but the admissions process is a bit idiosyncratic and sometimes a second-look fixes some mistakes from the first round.  [/quote]

If you thought your kid's NNAT was understating his abilities, why didn't you request a free retest?  Or shell out $$ for a WISC?  Especially since you know he's not getting extra consideration for race?  Does your aunt's insight was a former AART in FCPS still apply to the new process?  The web site is deliberately vague about how the scores are combined and yes, "holistic" covers a variety of machinations.

PP here. Why is that? My AART aunt said to retake the NNAT since the COGAT is already 145.

PP here. Aunt retired last year. I might apply my kid again next year. Maybe take the NNAT again. [/quote]

Don't bother with the NNAT.  See what the Cogat score is, and consider a WISC.  But don't request a retake for the NNAT.  [/quote][/quote]
