[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am new to this process so am trying to understand how raw vs percentile scores are used. I hear about a cut point with a raw score and I find this super confusing. Does the cut point mean that a child can be 99th percentile nationally but not get into AAP (let's say level IV center) while in the 99th percentile? [/quote]

Kinda.  The narional percentile scores are not taken into account for AAP selection. To be "in pool", your DC's score needs to be in the top 10% score at their school.  For instance, a 130 might be 98%tipe nationwide, but only 70%tile at Churchill Road.

Inpool doesn't mean admissions into AAP.  It means automatic referral (read: application).  You can always refer manually.

It's generally thought that high GBRS/HOPE scores are the primary factors that determine admissions into AAP.

Pp here. Thank you! My child is coming from a private school so what does that mean for their "pool"? I also am baffled how a 99 percentile doesn't automatically mean going to AAP. I get having the application process for students who don't test well but not adhering to the 99th percentile at least is ridiculous and makes it completely arbitrary. [/quote]
