[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your best bet is to find a school that has most stay for aap. [b]And aap testing requires a score of 130+ so yes there are a lot of gifted [/b] 130–144 Gifted or very advanced 120–129 Superior 110–119 High average 90–109 Average[/quote] Incorrect. Many children with all scores lower than 130 are accepted into AAP via parent referrals. The in-pool cutoff is set around the 90th percentile locally, so about 10% of the kids are in-pool. FCPS stats suggest that only 2/3 of these are accepted into AAP, so around 7% of FCPS kids were both in-pool and accepted into AAP. AAP includes 19%, meaning that the other 12% of the kids in AAP were not in pool and did not have test scores in the gifted range. Also, keep in mind that the CogAT and NNAT are both rough screening exams that are easily prepped, and thus might not have a strong correlation with IQ. [/quote]
