[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This kid is a 9th grader and op isn’t posting what classes she’s in or what the kid’s prior testing from elem school showed.  I’m guessing they are run of the mill ones. If they were really Einstein like, as she thinks the scores reflect, she wouldn’t have been so surprised at the score and if they are low she doesn’t want people to say, “See, we told you it doesn’t necessarily mean anything.”  [/quote]

Dear God, I'm not trying to hide anything, or make my kid look smarter than what she actually is,  In fact, I thought it was pretty clear that I don't see my daughter as being an Einstein, [b]which is why I was so taken aback by her score. [/b]  To answer your question quickly before I head out to work, we are in Prince William County, she has been in the gifted program since 3rd grade.  The gifted program here is more enrichment oriented, they are not actually separated into different instructional classes like AAP in Fairfax County.  Her scores on the Naglieri  and Cogat in 3rd grade were 99 percentile in every category, but I don't remember what the specific scores were, and I suspect she didn't max out.  She is in Algebra II this year, (took Alg. I in 7th, Geometry in 8th). She is in all Pre-AP classes and one AP class now (There is only one AP that Freshmen are allowed to take at her H.S.)  I guess I'm just trying to figure out what to make of this score.  To be honest, I've always been a bit worried that we haven't done as much as we should have for her to live up to her potential.  I don't know if we should be doing more now (although it might be too late), or if it's really not necessary to do anything at all. [/quote]

160 in the 9th grade isn't all special.  It just means your kid is good at spatial profiling, which she may have a talent for which is why she likes to spend her time on art and tik tok.  You can put your mind at ease by giving her a Math section of the SATs to crack in 20 minutes.  If she succeeds, you can think of enrolling her in all kids of STEM stuff.

Here's what a "genius" looks like:  https://people.com/human-interest/9-year-old-belgian-genius-graduating-from-college/

Everyone else on AAP forums scoring 160 on NNAT or CoGAT or WISC is a high achieving individual, who will succeed pretty well in academics regardless of the sort of program they are in ... and whether they are in AAP or GT will make very little difference once they enter high school. [/quote]
