[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any cut off score..? We have composite score of 121, quant at 95 percentile, verbal at 87 and non verbal at 75. [/quote]

There is a cut off for automatically having a packet made. It's top 10% of your school right now. Historically kids well below that cut off will get in and kids well above that cut off (at any school) will not, based on holistic factors. If AAP sounds like a match for your kid, parent refer.[/quote]

How do you know it’s 10% of the school? There are 60 2nd grader in my school. Are you saying we are one of the 6 kids who got the notification?[/quote]

The 10% per school is publicly released information. It was also shared at the info session for level 4. [/quote]

I don't think it's 10% students at every school.  My understanding is it is top 10% scorers. [/quote]

No. It is 10% per school. FCPS used to do the top 10% countywide but changed it to 10% per school. This was a change to get more kids from lower performing schools into AAP.

I'm not questioning it's 10% per school.  It's the top 10% scorers in each school.  Not 10% of the student body. [/quote]

No it’s 10% of the second grade student body. [/quote]
My kid did not get a universal screener designation with a 139. I understand that FCPS kids do better than average on these tests, but I would be surprised if there were 10% of kids in his class with a higher score, unless I’m reading the z score wrong, that means that 10% of the kids in his second grade class got greater than a ~99.5%.

Are we sure it’s top 10%?[/quote]

One thing I’ll say is this. We know that the individual tests are 100 mean 15 sd, max 160. We know the total score is max 175, but AFAIK (despite all the claims upthread) there’s no public info on the distribution of the total score (there is one reference somewhere that says there are two different ways of combining them, but not even sure of that).[/quote]

Totally fair. Someone did post a url that had a PowerPoint that made it seem like the distribution was 100 with a std dev of 15 or 16, but it was not a bastion of clarity.

Immaterial now, but in case anyone is keeping track for future years, 139 on NGAT was not a universal screener score for my kid.[/quote] which elementary is this ( high school division?) If you are in the McLean or Langley area that makes sense, or Vienna.[/quote]
