[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know how many numerical points each percentage point adds? [/quote]

There is no point system. It’s holistic once they are in the review pool. [/quote]

I meant on the exam score.  For instance, a score of 128 is 93%.  Would a score of 148 be, for instance, in 99%?[/quote]

The distribution is bell shaped, so each percentage point corresponds with a different number of numerical points. Also, at the top, anything over a certain number is 99th percentile. [/quote]

I think it is very unfair to only consider the NGAT. I know my child scored 98th in NNAT and 93 in NGAT. So we just discard the score of kids who did well in that? Very unfair. Don’t give a test you are going to toss. [/quote]

98th percentile in the NGAT might not get you in-pool at most schools. It used to be the county wide cut off was at the 99th percentile.

This area has a lot of educated parents with graduate degrees. That tends to translate to kids who are advanced in school because their parents have been reading to them and exposing them to academic material from a young age. Genetically, it is likely that their parents are above average intelligence to smart, which means the kids are likely above average intelligent to smart. This means that the advanced programs in this area are serving the top 1-2% in scores and not the top 10% that much of the rest of the country serves.

There are schools where the top 10% of kids are scoring in the 99.5% range.[/quote]
