[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD got the max, 160 points on NNAT  :shock:  :shock:  :shock: . I am not bothering with samples. [/quote]

Don't get cocky! Wait and see how your DD does on the Cogats!  :roll: [/quote]

However the DD does on the Cogat, she will be in pool.  Samples are not needed.[/quote]

If her CogAT is under 132 then she will need sample. In pool does not mean that she is in AAP. From what I have read on this site, NNAT is weighed less then the CogAT because of how/what the NNAT tests. If the CogAT score is low, that 160 in the NNAT probably is meaningless.

Not to mention, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that kids whose scores are too high are looked at with a great deal of skepticism because it could very well indicate that a student was prepped. So the test scores should be in line with the GBRSs and other indicators. So high test scores not matched with similar GBRSs are seen as problematic because the parents prepped the kid for the test.

Instead of focusing on the number, focus on helping your child enjoy school and make her best effort in class.

Who said I am focusing on the number? The name of this thread is NNAT results, so I am simply reporting what the OP wanted to know.

What I am focusing on is getting my kid into AAP. She is one of the kids who really need it. We have seen the difference between GE and AAP (equivalents) in our home country, and how our kid thrives when challenged. And we can't afford a private school.

But after reading this forum I am worried about the quality of AAP and whether it will be enough challenge. It seems like kids with slightly higher than average scores can get in if the parents are pushy enough. [/quote]
