My kid has a very similar score. According to our teacher AAP is mostly adds a year for math so she thought he'd be a good fit.

She also said it was common for boys. Girls reversed (high Verbal, lower Quant) but they level out around 6th grade.

This is very similar to my son, with the quantitative and nonverbal scores reversed: V 116 (84% for age), Q 123 (92), N 143 (99)
How is your son with writing/speaking? I would say mine seemed advanced so not sure why score was lower, comparatively! Anyway, I would not worry that AAP wouldn't be a good fit-there will be many kids with similar scores in there, and a high aptitude for mathematical skills and logic is as valuable as the verbal side. There will still be groupings and kids working to their own abilities within each class. My son is 4th grade and new to the district so I am not referring him to AAP since it would mean another change of school if he were accepted and I am very happy with the school he is in: the teachers, friendship groups, and level of teaching. However, if this was 2nd grade like yours, I would probably have done it.

So we received our scores and in-pool letter in the mail this afternoon. Finally!
My son's CogAT scores were...
Verbal - 117 (75% local, 92% grade)
Quantitative - 138 (97%, 99%)
Nonverbal - 127 (89%, 97%)
Composite - 133 (94%, 99%)

I feel that this pretty much reflects his abilities. He is great with mathematics and logic, but not so much with verbal tasks. I mean, he is definitely above average, but not gifted by any stretch.

What are your opinions on this type of discrepancy? Do you think he would thrive in AAP? Or be thwarted by his lack of verbal expressiveness?
