[quote=Anonymous]When it's NNAT time, take a look at your child's score. If it's in the 80-110 range, wait for the CogAt and honestly be ready to tap out if there's not a big jump. There are some kids who can handle AAP with those scores in 3rd and 4th grade but it usually falls apart for them by 5th grade when advanced math starts even if you spend a fortune on tutors and outside help. If it's in the 120-130 range, buy a CogAt prep book from Amazon and have your kid do a couple pages per night. A CogAt score over 132 will get your kid in at all but the highest SES schools unless they're a very mediocre student. A CogAt score in the mid to high 120s might cut it if your kid is a very strong student but if it doesn't, you may end up having to appeal and have to pay out of pocket for a WISC. You aren't going to be able to increase a CogAt score by 25 points with a prep book, but you can bring a 125 up to a 132 pretty easily.[/quote]
