Fairfax Ability Test. Replaces the national CogAt, and is actually a customized version of the CogAt only used in Fairfax County. This is the first year that Fairfax has used it, so it's not age-normed this year, and parents receive only percentile scores (based on local Fairfax population) without any number scores.

What is the FAT test?

NP and thank you- I appreciate your posting again and your message! It was IMO not relevant to the thread which asked about THIS year's scores. Reading through a few threads, this mom has been reposting her last year's perfect score for a while. And she kept reposting on that thread (other PPs were annoyed as well). Just annoying.. Well- anonymous forum- what can you do..

OP again, I am new to this forum - not DCUM.. my DD is my eldest (1st grade) and I am trying to learn about how things work since I also have a preK boy. I did gather from my neighborhood (parents of older kids) how crazed this might be but I am just trying to prepare myself on what may or may not happen - just get info. There was an AAP meeting recently at our ES but I thought it was too early since DD is only in 1st grade and we didn't get scores etc..

I am the mom. Sorry for bothering you so much.

My son is in 2nd grade now. I posted his last year's NNAT2 there because somebody asked "what the score is for 48/48".

Why does poster even care?

There is someone truly weird or maybe even deranged on board with us, I've seen her here before, and I recognized her as . . . OP. Seriously, get some help OP, your thought processes really are not normal.

:yawn:

There are a lot of posts here- some receive little responses (or are one explanation questions), some are long... welcome to DCUM..

This was worth a separate thread?

You feel better now?

"My son got 48/48 and 160.

Thank you for your thoughts. He is 'super sweet' by his teacher. He can not be happier every day.
And he also got 99% FAT without any prep BTW."

If this is the post you got hangup with, save your headache.
The son is "'super sweet' by his teacher", and "can not be happier every day". What that tells you?
