I didn't refer. She's in regular classroom + Adv. Math (ironic), essentially in her own group in reading, but doing well and does not want to go to the AAP center, so we are not referring. We have thought about it and stressed over it, but I think it's probably for the best that she is where she is.

Younger sib. just got CogAT scores and his are notably higher in quant. and non-verb, and composite. Now that I see his scores, and I know how quickly he picks up analogies and math concepts compared to DD, I am more content with DD (whose scores are like your child's) not being in AAP.

What's your child's personality like? Does he or she like a challenge or get stressed by new things? You're in the zone where it could work either way -- AAP or regular class. But, realistically, there are kids who score higher who won't get in, so don't fee bad if yours doesn't.

You are one of the few sane people here. Bravo!
