[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zip: 20194 - received letter on Sat. 4/7 for 2nd grader

NNAT: 123
CogAT: 138
GBRS: I don't know

In - accepted for Level IV AAP

[b]My older child, who is now in 5th grade, had basically flipped these scores a few years ago (NNAT 135, CogAT 118, WISC 119)[/b], and despite being automatically entered into the screening pool, did not get in initially, or upon appeal (we only appealed for 3rd grade - didn't apply the following years) - he has received Level III AAP services every year starting in 3rd grade. He has dyslexia/dysgraphia, so I think they're more hesitant to accept "twice exceptional" kids with writing difficulties. It seems to reinforce that the CogAT is weighed more heavily than the NNAT by the screening committee.[/quote]

Well but with the WISC basically backing up the CogAT score (within one point, and both pretty well below the 132 "cutoff"), couldn't it also be that 2 out of the 3 data points for your older child supported that he/she was better served in the general education classroom? [/quote]
