[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my kids are in Level IV so I have no chip on my shoulder, and I’m not sure how many of these posts are fake, but the idea that a kid got in with NNAT 119 and another got rejected with NNAT 140 is ABSURD. There should be no level of weight placed on a GBRS that can justify anywhere near that discrepancy. Absolutely embarrassing, and I assume just one more step toward eliminating any sense of meritocracy or achievement in our society. Congratulations America and FCPS[/quote]

NNAT is not everything.  A kid can have a bad day but otherwise he obviously brilliant.  NNAT is just a tiny snapshot of one morning in a kid’s life.  On the flip side, NNAT can also be gamed easily.  I had a kid once do the whole thing in less than 3 minutes and get a perfect score.  She said she had been practicing the same “online flash cards” for a while with her mom.  It is possible for a parent to cheat and access the test as a “homeschooler”.  GBRS and NNAT are both part of the mix But not everything  for a Good reason.[/quote]
