Well, her MS report cards are mostly A's with one B. She has no problem keeping up. In her good classes, she is tops (Soc. Studies, science).

one more thing about the above post 15:25. there is no test taking anxiety for her. her scores, I feel, really reflect her.

My child got a composite cogat 123 (the highest subset was 127 on verbal) and 111 on nnat. I have always known that words were her strength, not numbers. I asked the teacher back in November if she would be good for aap and teacher said yes!

So now I hesitate to refer, because scores or so so. But the funny thing is, they are really similar to her brothers, who was in pool and in aap, just because he got 130 on the nnat. He is a real math kid and struggled with a lot of the writing early on, which she would ease through and enjoy all of the writing. and at our school, you can opt out of advanced math if you want.

Just some thoughts. I will probably refer her, but not with anything extra, and certainly not a wisc or appeal.

PP is your DD doing good with the AAP then? I am just curious. Thanks!!

My DD. Actually, 118. 124 NNAT. But 16 on the GBRS. She had anxiety when taking tests...

If your kid is immature with regards to test taking skills or simply a slow burner, waiting a little will be the best thing for them.

People have gotten in with lower scores (I know). There are many reasons why scores can be low/non-representative. LD issues; kid is distracted/sick. Child has anxiety. Or the child did not sleep well. There are more, but my brain is not listing them right now.

In our case, my DD was very distracted before to CogAT, and scored similar to this. She was admitted to AAP. This was years ago, in 2009. FWIW, she had a very good GBRS.

Why?

If you can articulate why you think your child needs AAP, then you should refer.

Here's my instinct. With those scores, your child is bright but not going to make the AAP cut.

Do you have WISC scores? If they are good, submit them now. If not, I would parent refer, have a WISC done, and then submit that on appeal if necessary.

An appeal needs new information, FYI.

Is a WISC submitted now or with appeal?

Not without a WISC.

NNAT about the same. I think my DD would thrive in AAP but am wondering if it is even worth referring. Thanks!
