[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow never knew GBRS weighs more than NNAT and Cogat. My son did not get in due to low GBRS. Time is not utilized properly in those 8 hrs of school. My son is bright but due to poor class curriculum my son is distracted and not IMPRESSING the teacher. Had to use the term "IMPRESS". I give third grade maths work to my son at home and he does it good. Need to wait till next year and have to keep my son motivated, which is so tough. Sorry to say that education here in general school is not challenging.

[b]So for admitting to fourth grade AAP, DS is going to get GBRS again in third grade?[/b][/quote]

There is no way a child doesn't get in from a low GBRS alone. A low GBRS and another lowish test, yes. Generally, they want two pieces of data pointing towards admission (out of NNAT, Cogat and GBRS) but a low NNAT matters the least to them, a high GBRS will help your kid a lot and a high wisc will trump everything. I guarantee, however, your son didn't have 140 test results on both the NNAT and Cogat and a low GBRS and didn't get admitted. Didn't happen. [/quote]

Some of you speak very authoritatively about the selection process..." there is no way a child doesn't get in from a low GBRS alone." or " NNAT matters least to them" or " a high wisc will trump everything". Is there some resource that a lot of us seem to be missing?[/quote]
