[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to this group the NNAT is the least-reliable and least-regarded metric.  Who knows if that's true 🤷[/quote]

It’s not according to this group. The AAP equity report showed it to be the least reliable metric. The committee knows this.  [/quote]

The equity report states that blacks and hispanics score higher on GBRS than expected, given their IQ test scores[b].  To me that means teachers are arbitrarily rating minority kids higher. [/b] That same report states asians are "disproportionally overrepresented", even though that group scored the highest on the standardized tests.  The report was clearly written by people with an agenda.

However, I would guess the PP is correct.  NNAT and CoGat really don't matter that much.  It's all about the teacher's opinion (GBRS/HOPE)[/quote]

To others, that means that they are not prepping their kids for standardized tests and likely need AAP even though their test scores are lower. [/quote]

As it is, there is not way to justify this statement, but if "prepping" makes all the difference, let's have the schools prepare all the kids for the test and choose the ones who prepped best because that's more akin to how they will perform in the program.  Preparation = improved performance[/quote]

The gifted program is for gifted students. Not all students who are academically focused overachievers are gifted. Prepping for a psychoeducational evaluation completely defeats the purpose and renders the results invalid. If you enrolled your kid in cogat prep or in any way prepped them for it, the score is completely meaningless.[/quote]
