[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My theory is that FCPS purposefully uses a COGAT that is easier to score in the 98+ percentile.

In the same way NNAT captures a lot of kids and puts them in the pool, so does an easy cogat. This helps to identify more kids who might benefit from aap and would otherwise fall through the cracks. Then a committee can make a final say.

The difference between a 99% and a 95% on this cogat is insignificant to the committee. They must be taking a very holistic look at applicants. [/quote]

It would have been nice to know they were taking this approach so we could have focused on making a really good packet.  Since my DS had a high score, I figured the work samples weren't that important. Oh well, I can try to appeal. [/quote]

I also didn't put effort into the packet because my child had such a high score and is a very smart kid. I thought he would be in. Guess I was wrong.

I'm wondering if I should schedule a WISC since he already scored a 141 Cogat.[/quote]
