There is no cut off. 132 used to the in-pool cutoff for the County. Now each school has it’s own in-pool cutoff, although Center schools might still use the 132. [/quote]

They don't use 132, or at least ours didnt.  136/136 NNAT/COGAT not in pool last year.[/quote]

Our center doesn't use 132 either. It's 10% of the school, any school, for 2nd grade. At a high SES/high acheiving ES, especially with a smaller 2nd grade cohort, the cut score might be very high.

It's also an average of NNAT and CogAT.

None of that applies for applications that aren't for fall of 3rd grade, though.[/quote]

It's incredibly unfair. We switched schools - at our old school, DD would have definitely gotten in to AAP, but at the new school, she was not even in pool. [/quote]

Of my 3 kids who got into AAP, only one was in-pool. This board can teach you how to write excellent answers to the parent questionnaire, produce compelling work samples, and the like. As long as your kid is decently smart you have every tool you need as a parent to ensure your kid gets in. Really.[/quote]

Completely depends on your school w/ new local norms. When did your 3 kids get in bc things have changed a lot in the last 3 years.

I have two kids in AAP - 1 in-pool when 132 was countywide pool cutoff and 1 was not in-pool b/c local norms were adopted and in-pool score was over 145. The process used to be more predictable but is now a total crapshoot. Sure, I could pat myself on the back for putting together an excellent packet, but realistically I know a large part was luck.
