[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why so many negative comments about a child with a high ability test score? Is this because most AAP hopefuls on this board have scores in a lower range? They want a child with a high score denied?

I have a child for whom I think AAP would be the best placement. In my mind, she exhibits behaviors chracteristic of a gifted child. And she also happens to have earned a high NNAT score. Her greatest strengths are in art and mathematics, so it makes sense to me.

If I read these board, the other parents say it may not happen. Then what happens to her? She will be the smartest child in her class. Always our performing her peers and requiring differentiation that maybe one else in the class needs. It's easier for the teacher if she's placed in AAP. [/quote]

Nobody is saying that a kid with 145 NNAT will not get in.  They're just saying that it's not the only score that matters.  I don't know why you think that's giving negative information.  Yes, your kid does have a very good chance of getting in with a high NNAT score.  You'll have a better picture once Cogat scores come in January.  If you choose to find out the GBRS is March, then please come back and post all 3 scores, which I gather will most likely be all high from your post (I am not being sarcastic) - until then there's insufficient information, that's all.[/quote]
