Hi, 
My kid has 123 on the Cogat and 119 on the NNAT. She has outstanding academic credentials - her teachers are willing to go the extra mile to recommend her. We are not trying to push her into something she is not upto yet at the same time know she deserves more.

A few questions 
1. Does she stand a chance? What steps to taken to try for that. 
2. Also the NNAt score does not show number of questions attempted. The cogat one does shows questions attempted. She was saying she may have skipped a page.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, she does stand a chance. Are you submitting additional information this week with the parent questionnaire? That would (likely, but not definitely) boost her chances.  [/quote]

My child has similar scores, and the AAP specialist at our school thinks he has a pretty good chance because the school is strongly supportive of him.  We are submitting a parent referral and the other materials, and I know the school is going to rate him well on the GBRS; I met with his teacher a few weeks ago to talk about it and the teacher also felt he has a good shot and is going to put some strong comments on the GBRS form.

As far as skipping a page on the NNAT, I'm not sure you can "prove" that's what happened so I don't know if it will help your case.  Your DD may very well have skipped a page (that would be SUCH a shame if that's what brought down her score!), but you don't KNOW that she did, the test was a long time ago so her recollection may not be very good, and it may be hard to include that as your theory of why her score isn't higher.  I'm not basing that on anything, really, just a gut reaction.  The scores are not terrible, however, and you should still have a decent chance if you put a solid parent referral file together.
