The data on page 66 do not say a decent number of kids are getting scores below the threshold. The minimum scores could be that 1 kid in each demographic got in with those scores. And it certainly doesnt tell you if that one kid with the minimum scored the minimum across all the tests.

I have no idea where you're getting the rest of these numbers so I wont address those. [/quote]

What are you viewing as the threshold?  The tables give mean and SD for the scores of kids who are accepted into AAP.  The ones on the previous page give them for all kids in each group in FCPS, and based on both the mean and SD, you can get a pretty good notion of how many kids in each group have Cogat composite at or above 132.

For the other numbers, half of all parent referrals get in, according to FCPS.  There are quite a lot of parent referrals, which means quite a lot of kids are getting in with scores lower than 132.  [/quote]

The threshold can change every year but the year my first kid got in the CogAT was 132. I dont remember what it was for the NNAT that cycle. The eligible tables do not show the composite CogAT score so how are you comparing them?
