[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the NNAT is taken in first grade and results are received in late January of first grade[/quote]

We moved to public school in the second grade so we don't have the NNAT. Basically we only have the CogAt at 131. Guess the only option is parent referral?[/quote]

Was the 131 the Composite?  I believe that the 132 needs to be on any one subtest, but not only on the composite.  I know that there is a clause somewhere that says that parents can make a one time request for a retest.  You could always parent refer (if you feel her teacher this year strongly supports this, as their GBRS will carry a good amount of weight) and then request a Naglieri test to hold on to in case you need to appeal.  It would be too late to request the Naglieri for this year in the first round.  You could also request letters from prior schools if you feel the teacher would support the decision.

We were in pool a few years ago, with one CogAt (nonverbal) at 148 and all other scores in the high 120's (99%ile composite) and did not get in, BUT my son had a rough year behaviorally that year so his GBRS was lower (9).  In 3rd grade, his teacher said "this child needs to be in AAP" so we parent referred in 3rd grade with the old test scores and breezed in on the first round. GL[/quote]

What was the GBRS second time round?[/quote] GBRS was 11 the second time around.  I struggled with the whole thing.  Since preschool, he was very articulate, reading chapter books, great in math, nonverbal/spacial is very strong., but VERY socially immature.  I suspect, if I did further testing, that he would have scored high enough on the WISC to win on appeal, but financially, it was a bit out of reach.  Worked out ok, since he is there now, and getting all A's, but breaking into a preexisiting Local Level IV class has had some drawbacks.  His current AAP teacher says that it is absolutely the right fit academically for him, even after missing out for 3rd grade.[/quote]
