This year, the benchmark score for the 2nd grade screening pool is 132 on either the first grade Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT) or any subtest score of the second grade Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). The screening pool is for 2nd grade students only and is drawn from the fall testing windows from the first grade NNAT and second grade CogAT.

Everyone gets scores back. Those that are in pool get a separate letter.

You should have continued to breast feed him and fed him only organic food. Now he's just going to be average.

My mother lives with our family and cooks all-organic ethnic food, also does all the housework so I can focus on organizing tutoring, test-prep camp, Kumon and karate. I will have failed as a mother if my children don't get into AAP!

Studies show that Kumon can actually lower a test by 10%!

Impossible! Preparation is the key to success in all endeavors. Just ask Peyton Manning.

You guys are too funny!

Who is this "Peyton Manning?" I've never heard of him in the hundreds of educational papers and scholarly works I've not heard of him?

In a class.

+1

The kids with high aptitudes in math just get it. It doesn't matter if they haven't seen the problems before or been taught them in class. This test --despite efforts by parents here to game it -- was designed as a measure of aptitude not achievement.

And I don't have to predict it. My son's AAP teacher told me this is one of the problems she's found in the math classes -- you've got the kids the program was initially designed for who can get a concept quickly and move on to the next one and the others who have to study really hard and do a lot of repetitions to understand the problems. They slow the advanced classes down, which is why they should be in a more advanced class in Gen. Ed. as opposed to an AAP class for gifted learners. But the people on these threads never want to hear this, so I'm sure many will keep believing what they want as long as they can claim their kid is advanced. If you find your child needing extra help, kumon or a tutor to get those A's your so proud of though -- it means your kid was not who the AAP program was designed for.
