[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, these are very imperfect tests, with a limited purpose -- to screen kids for AAP eligibility.  I would not base your understanding of your kid's ability on the results of this test.  If you know your kid is verbal -- good vocabulary, good writer, highest reading group, etc. -- a relatively poor result on this test should not raise alarm bells  re the ability of your kid to handle the AAP curriculum.

Likewise, I'm the PP whose kid did best on quantitative, but I know that doesn't mean he's a math whiz.  In fact, I have more concern for him in the advanced math program than I do my other kid who only got 115 on the math COGAT but I know has more natural number sense.

You know your kid and whether he or she can do this program.  These test results make it more or less likely that he or she will get in, but you shouldn't place much weight on them as reflections of your kid's actual ability.[/quote]

And btw, my kid with the 115 quantitative COGAT is in gen ed but tested in to advanced math, which he takes with the LLIV kids and is handling perfectly well.[/quote]
