Insane! Those are such good scores. Do you know the GBRS??? Screening file should have indicated that English was not the first language.


This is what prepping does. Not saying the scores were prepped, but the high scores with lower GBRS indicates prep.


We didn't know about the APP programme until after the test. We came to US 2 years ago from South America. A friend told me to go on this site for information and FAQs. I don't know what GBRS is and I didn't know that our child had to prepare for that. We know our child is very intelligent, learned English fast and very good playing music instruments and chess.


I would appeal and make it clear that your child just learned English over the last couple of years and that English is HER second language, not just that her parents speak a different language. Include the info about chess and musical instruments also. Her scores are really high, especially if no prepping was involved. Also, you don't have to prep for GBRS, that's a score the teacher gives, the prepping reference was regarding the tests.


Thank you for the information. I will seek information on how to appeal. She did not get any preparation for the test but we are happy she did good. Her teacher said that she's too quiet and doesn't interact much with other children. She learn chess and music from grandparent who live with us. Also some friends told us not to bother with this programme, they don't accept much Latinos.



Yes. This sounds like a child who should have been accepted. High scores with lower GBRS doesn't necessarily suggest prepping, but shy kid who can't communicate well in class, which sounds like your child

Why are YOU excited?


Because something good just happened for her kid? Is it that hard to understand?


Then she should be excited for her kid, as opposed to sounding like she's going to attend with him/her.

Well I can answer this one with certainty, since I received both a blue (for my rising 3rd grader) and a yellow (for my rising 4th grader) acceptance letter today. The blue letter has the option of center or LLIV and the yellow letter just gives the center as the option. Maybe that's the difference.

My son has a late September birthday and had a lower FxAT (84%) so we WISC'd him at Mindwell Psychology in Chantilly. He scored a 143 overall. For those with late birthdays, it was a logical choice to show what the FxAT did not. NNAT was 131, so also not too shabby.

Asshat.


You're right. I'm sure you just happened to get the only blue paper because they ran out of yellow

all 4's in the report card...very disappointed. Getting ready to appeal.


I'm surprised by this. The results this year seem very random.


I am also surprised. For the FxAT could the verbal have been low and only math and/or nonverbal high? Searching for any logic to the committee's decision.


I'm the poster with the above scores. FxAT 83% (V 95, Q 69, NV 78). I'm thinking it's the Q score that resulted in the decision of not eligible. The AART at the school said that my DC had
a strong profile.
