[quote=Anonymous][quote]4. Private school kids do not take NNAT or CoGat now. [/quote]

Well, they have the option. That is the "group ability tests" referred to offered at George Mason. They can also opt for things like the WISC, but many private school parents start with the CoGAT/NNAT because they are cheaper.

And you are basing your answers off what they currently do. I don't think it would be unreasonable for a parent of a first grader to say that a first grade test result is not representative, especially if the child had an (at the time) undocumented learning disability. The "second grade pool" will really become a first and second grade pool. And what about kids who enter FCPS in second grade and don't have a first grade NNAT? Will they take the NNAT in second grade and is is fair to compare those scores to kids who took in first?

Anyway, it doesn't really affect me, I just think it will be interesting to see how the process changes, and I'm glad I don't have a grade 1 kid right now.[/quote]
