[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't help but see these 160 NNAT scores and think that these are kids that definitely did NNAT prep to "test into AAP". It would make since that other data is weighted higher if its suspected that this isn't a true picture of the child's ability since they've been training to take the assessment. The NNAT and CogAT aren't designed to be studied for. I'm a teacher in another district who has never seen a kid with a 160 in over 10-12 years of the district giving this assessment. [/quote] My kid also got a 154 WISC, I'm sure a teacher with 30 years of experience only sees this less than 2 times in his/her career. 160 NNAT is not hard to achieve. Unless the WISC and other schoolwork does not support it, it's unreasonable to question it. Also, GBRS is fairly biased, when a teacher never seen a profoundly gifted child in their career, they cannot properly assess the child. [/quote]
