[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got ours today in my daughter’s backpack.  We are Oakton Pyramid.  She scored a 138 composite but we didn’t get an in pool email.  Could the cut off this year been higher than 132?[/quote]
The most likely scenario is that Gatehouse has an incorrect or outdated email address, or the email was delivered to your spam folder.  [/quote]

So far 2 people claim that they had a score over 132 and were not notified of being in-pool.[/quote]

I confirmed with our AART person and 138 (despite being 99th percentile) was not in pool this year.  Apparently the pool is smaller than past years.[/quote]

Can you please explain more on what the AART told you? She said the pool will be smaller than past years. Why is that so? [/quote]

Yes this doesn't make sense.  I think technically there's some requirement that kids in the 99th percentile should be screened for advanced service.  You should check.  Could be your AART is new and doesn't understand how it works.  If you feel comfortable sharing the school, you can find out if there are others from the school with a similar score that received the 'in pool' letter.  At that range in the score, you are talking about one or two question difference (max 3) between 138 and 150 or even 160.  Also, assuming you're talking about COGAT and not the NNAT.  The NNAT was uncharacteristically high for those who took it in April 2021 (1st grade).  I could see why 138 isn't "in pool" for NNAT, but not how 138 on COGAT isn't 'in pool'.  The only other scenario is that 138 NNAT was combined with a low COGAT score, which means the child didn't make the pool due to two low scores (not that in pool is higher than 138 for both at this school).
