[quote=Anonymous]No scores received yet for 2nd grade son but I'm curious what you all think about the posted benchmarks?

From FCPS AAP -- The 2012-13 benchmark score for the 2nd grade screening pool is 132 on the First Grade NNAT or 95th percentile on the Second Grade Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) Composite score.

Last fall (2011) our AART told us that the prior year (and perhaps for 2011-12?) benchmark the kids needed to reach the stated benchmark (132??) on 3 out of 4 of the test scores (this included 1 score NNAT and 3 scores for Cognat) but this year just a high score on non-verbal NNAT is enough. Does this make sense? No need to require at least a high score on either the reading or quantitative area of Cognat?

And, if the NNAT score isn't high enough then the child must in the 95% for a composite score (verbal, quantitative and non-verbal) which undermines the importance of a high score in one area. Right?

If they're going to give so much weight to the NNAT test with a score of 132+ why bother with the Cognat custom form? Or perhaps, they could just give 2nd graders a 2nd opportunity on the NNAT or just the non-verbal portion of the custom Cognat test? Am I missing something?[/quote]
