I have been told my other parents that it is the top 10% per school using the average of the NNAT and Cogat. I have no idea if this is accurate.
I do know the cutoff varies from school to school for in pool.
In years past, your child only needed a score higher than 132 or 135. I thought it was 135 but have seen 132 on DCUM.
I believe they switched to top 10% for diversity. However, it hurts the kids at high SES schools. I’m sure in schools like McLean or Vienna, you need 140+ on both tests to be in pool. Not sure what it would need to be in Annandale.
