[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry your kid didn’t get in. No, don’t lie because it’s anonymous.

No one needs to get in at any time other than the existing opportunities. If a kid in AAP is getting failing grades, they should be removed.[/quote]

OP here. You are correct that my child did not get in at 2nd grade but he is in advanced math now in 4th grade. We are not reapplying because my kid's friends are not in the AAP class (we are at a LLIV school) and why bother because he's already getting the main benefit of AAP by pushing in for math?

But people like you are just ridiculous. You don't think a child's scores can be very different in 2nd vs 5th grade? I'm confident that if you retested all the kids in 5th grade, you'd see very different scores than you did in 2nd grade.[/quote]

You seem to have a misunderstanding about these assessments. All the tests are age-normed. Abilities tests are not expected to change that much across time.

It’s not like the kid takes a second grade test as a second grader and then they would give the same second grade test again in fifth grade. And it’s not testing material learned or taught. [/quote]

Dp. The NGAT is not age normed. It's by grade, and it's not an actual IQ test.

I agree with you that the variance is unlikely to be great as pp suggests. Without data specifically on the NGAT, however, it's difficult to know how much change there could be across time. [/quote]
