[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, OP!!

My kid's scores are surprising too. Highest on nonverbal, which is traditionally a family weakness (96).  90% on verbal and 93 on quant.  Composite score 128.  [/quote]

Why on earth are these baffling? 90s aren’t weakness.  Someone is saying their kid is in the 50s and you come in saying “me too!” Is it just to make the other feel bad? [/quote]

No, not at all.  I'm just saying that historically my children's nonverbal scores are their lowest.

It seems that NGAT wasn't either designed or administered properly.  Looking at the other posters' comments, it seems that the score discrepancy between categories is more than one should normally expect. [/quote]

NP here.  Also a composite of 128 isn't that good.  My 3rd grade DC was rejected from full time AAP with that score on Cogat and NNAT.  So, if you're hoping your child will get into AAP, it is s disappointing score.[/quote]

Oh honey, bless your little gatekeeping heart. You’re out here on DC Urban Mom bragging that your third-grader got rejected from full-time AAP with a measly 128 composite like it’s some kind of flex. Newsflash, Karen-with-a-capital-K: a 128 is literally the 97th percentile. That means your kid beat 97% of the country but still couldn’t crack Fairfax County’s Hunger Games for gifted kindergarteners because the cutoff these days is apparently 138+ and a blood sacrifice to the CogAT gods.
You’re not disappointed in the score, you’re disappointed that your precious snowflake didn’t get the golden ticket to brag about at the swim & tennis club. “My child was rejected with a 128” is the DCUM equivalent of “My husband and I only summer in Rehoboth, not Dewey, ugh the struggle.”
Imagine being so deep in the Northern Virginia status vortex that a near-genius IQ is “disappointing.” The rest of us mortals are over here celebrating if our kids can find their shoes before the bus comes, and you’re weeping into your Lululemon because little Madison only scored in the top 3% instead of the top 0.5%.
Go ahead, keep clutching those practice books from 2018 and refreshing the FCPS portal every 6 minutes. The rest of us will be outside touching grass while you explain to your therapist why a 128 “isn’t that good.”
Spoiler: the therapist’s kid probably got in with a 132 and doesn’t even go full-time because they have an actual childhood. Cry harder, babe.[/quote]

This made me laugh. Also, guessing it was written by ChatGPT. [/quote]
