Why increase the cutoff to 140 if you still plan to reject 1/3 of them? It didn’t even make sense when they rejected 1/3 when the cutoff was 132. 
Can anyone please explain. [/quote]

They don't plan to reject 1/3 of the in-pool kids.  In the past, in-pool may mean a 132 NNAT and a 115 CogAT.  Or it might mean a kid with a 110 NNAT and CogAT V/Q/N of 105/132/110.  Or it could be a kid with high test scores, but a low GBRS, poor comments, and poor work samples.

The dcum speculation in the past is that kids who are only in pool on the NNAT, but with CogAT well below cutoff look like the NNAT score was a fluke.  Or that kids who get high test scores, but low GBRS and/or poor work samples inflated their scores through prepping.  I doubt that many kids with a CogAT composite >= 132 and a strong GBRS are in the 1/3 getting rejected.  That will probably hold true this year, even in the schools with the higher in-pool cutoffs.  Kids who make the 140 cutoff on NNAT only, but have a CogAT composite around 120 or the kids who get terrible GBRS are the in-pool kids who are likely to get rejected.  With the generally higher cutoffs, it is likely that a much smaller fraction of the in-pool kids will be rejected this year.  [/quote]
