[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We received our kid's score COGAT score yesterday and happened onto this thread while researching the test results. To share our happiness:
Verbal 124, Quantitative 151, Nonverbal 157, Composite 153. And so he is in the pool.
His score comes as a surprise to us. We did not do any coaching, and no practice questions. We do occasionally have him doing math problems on ixl.com, but it's not consistent. 
We are now more concerned about the rating from the teacher, since the teacher has spoken to us a few times about him being disruptive in class and send him home a few times with red and yellow faces, mainly for talking during class and not following directions. His progress reports are a solid mixture of S, G, and O's. Ironically, his teacher said that she is really impressed with his reading and writing skills, in contrast to his verbal test score that lags the other two scores.
If he does get into AAP, it would be more for being in the company of other well achieving students. We have no desire for him to be a genius or pressure him for accelerated academic progress. And instead of TJ, we would rather have him go to Langley.[/quote]

Looking at your child's scores, he is exactly the type of child that should be in an AAP class - probably a quick thinker and learner - high scores without coaching.  The lower verbal score may be due to the fact that it had pictures.  Your child may have done better on a harder verbal test.  Re behavioral issues - could be he's just bored or he has features of ADHD - not uncommonat all among children with higher IQ's.  You may want to get him tested unless you have zero such concerns at home - which again could mean he is just not challenged in class and chooses to not listen as much as he should.[/quote]
