So it’s 99 percentile after 137 composite? Between 137 to 160 composite is considered as the same score? A kid with 150 and another with 140 have the same changes to getting in AAP?[/quote]

It honestly should be viewed as the same score.  The difference between a 137 and a 150 in any section is probably one incorrect answer.  My kid had a 149 in one section with all problems correct and a 130 in another with only 3 incorrect.  It's a very harsh scale at the top.  [/quote]

Even at the 130 range it is somewhat similar, at least for NNAT. Two kids that are 2-3 mo apart in age could have about a 3 point difference based on them having 1 question different, especially if it's the younger kid who got it right. There is no way to say you have no idea what the answer is, so this includes a scenario with both kids guessing and the younger one happening to guess correctly. That is why they encourage kids to be referred, particularly if the scores are close. In reality they should just lower the pool to 95th percentile. [/quote]

That seems fair, especially since there is such a wide age range in a class.  My child started Kindergarten at age 4 (September birthday) and has a classmate that turned 5 on the same day.[/quote].

Sorry, a classmate that turned 6 on the same day my child turned 5.[/quote]

12 month age range is typical within a grade

Some kids are held back if they have summer birthday. I think parents do that to be more competitive in sports but academically it hurts the child rather than benefiting. [/quote]
