[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is only the fall scores will be included

I think they will take iReady again in winter and spring[/quote]

Shouldnt winter/spring scores be correct reflection of a grade skill to take into consideration, if the committees are meeting in late first quarter of the year?[/quote]

Not everyone takes the iReady in the Winter. At some schools the only kids who take the iReady in the winter are those who are below grade level. Some schools skip the winter cycle. Some schools everyone takes it. The fall scores are the only ones that everyone will have taken at the same time so that is what is used.

[b]Two sub-132 scores is not promising for LIV services[/b] unless you are at a LIV or near LIV school.  You are more likely to end up with Advanced Math if the math scores are high then LIV.[/quote]
A lot of kids get accepted into AAP with all of their scores below 132.  Also, the GBRS has been by far the most important metric for acceptance, and that will likely continue with their new scale.  There's no need for OP to panic about the scores.  OP just needs to craft the referral form, questionnaire, and work samples in a way that shows that the kid can handle AAP work in the area of weakness.  [/quote]

I don’t think “a lot” of kids with Sub—132 scores get in. It totally depends on the school. If you’re at a high SES school, then it will be unlikely. That said, OP should still submit referral and see how it goes.  [/quote]
A few years ago, a 132 on any section or a 132 composite were enough to get a child in-pool.  Over half of the kids admitted to AAP were not in pool.  The AAP equity report also showed that a ton of kids who were not in pool were admitted to AAP.  You may not "think" a lot of kids with sub 132 scores are getting admitted, but you'd be wrong.  [/quote]

The entire process has changed since a few years ago and the equity report was released. [/quote]
It has changed so that test scores matter even less than they did in the past.  [/quote]
