[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s more than one pro nnat poster. R u the only pro cogat poster??

Real life situations:
[b]Boy got a 128 cogat, 108 nnat, 118 WISC and got into aap[/b]. Kid thinks he’s brilliant, but he’s just average and WISC confirms this. Would do just fine in general education. Really doesn’t belong in aap. A solid kid with strengths in math but not superior in anything!

Girl got a 155 nnat, 142 cogat, 145 WISC. Kid doesn’t think she’s brilliant. Just wants to do the best she can. Is in aap.

[b]Boy got a 138 nnat, 118 cogat.[/b] Needed to appeal. WISC showed add inattentive. GAI 145 fsiq 120 because of low processing speed. In aap.

The best indicator of “needing” aap is the WISC. An average WISC without 2E is not a kid who needs aap. But aap is full of solidly average/above average kids. Only a handful of actual superior or genuis kids.

Your anecdata indicates that the cogat matters much more than the nnat for AAP acceptance.  Borderline cogat + low NNAT got in.  In pool NNAT + low cogat got rejected and needed to appeal.  [/quote]
