[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, we got a rejection today. I’m ok with it because my now-7th grader was rejected and has fared well with the enriched studies at our home MS, and I know the magnets are very tough to get into (we are at a high ses home Ms). Furthermore, my 5th grader was not wanting to go to the magnet since he was leery of anything too different that what he knows.

But gosh, he “slipped”! His scores [MCPS%] were 
66%V, 96%Q, 96% NV. This is after getting in the 99s for the CES-eligibility CoGat (maybe a little lower for the V but not this much lower) and getting into the CES and getting As there. We didn’t do any prep this time.  (We did a couple of mini-practice tests last time.) The low V score is something I’ll show him to explain why reading 20 minutes a day is so important (he’s a reluctant reader). I’m concerned as to whether he’ll even be eligible for the Global Humanities....[/quote]

I don’t think they ever gave us MCPS percentages for the 3rd grade Cogat.  I don’t think he “slipped.”  I think that is the difference between the national percentages and the MCPS local banded percentages.[/quote]
