[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately every year is different. A couple years ago a child need a 132 in 1 section only of the CogAT to be in the pool. Last year they need a 132 comp score to be in the pool. I would say this child with a 129 and a 9 is doing fairly well. They probably had a 132 in at least 1 section. I think this kids probable does just fine in AAP. However, there are kids with nearly perfect CogAT scores, IQs well above 140, who taught themselves multiplication etc by 1st grade also in AAP. There are kids that struggle and kids that already know it all. AAP's pace is fast and furious. It is designed for kids who need one explanation of a topic and on to the next. Anymore explanation of a topic and the majority, if not all of kids would be reading their novels under their desks out of extreme boredom (3rd graders).  I would definitely say that it is true that your co-worker's kid is in AAP.  From my experience the kids on the border do absolutely fine, probably need help from parents or a tutor a little (if any).  My daughter has a couple friends whom scores were on the border.  They stayed at her home school.  They were always super bright, hard workers, but do not have the out right gifted personality characteristics of many gifted kids. I think they would have done just fine in my daughter's class. They would have not been the top kids and would it would not have been a breeze. I feel more kids could be included in AAP, in leveled classes. [/quote]

So you have a few parents who shared their precise scores with you?  [/quote]
