The AART told me that the teacher had filled out the GBRS with commentary and would present it to the committee this week. She said that the committee would not change the score only edit some of the comments if necessary. (I know the AART from outside of school.)

how did you get the GBRS known so early? Did you talk to the teacher?


This seems questionable. The score is supposed to be determined by a committee, not a sole teacher. Maybe that's what the teacher said they wold recommend, but I doubt it's been determined already.

I have heard you can request GBRS after the file has been turned over to the Central Selection Committee. This date varies from school to school, but should be by mid-March, I imagine.

PP, when can we request GBRS? For your DS, GBRS of 16 is too good and highest probability to get through in 1st round.

My DD's NNAT score is 155(99 percentile), CogAT VQN is 90. Any chances of getting in?

I agree with you. Do you really think NNAT would get 10% more kids in pool on top of FAT? Last fall before cogat at the info session, my DC's school does not have many kids passed 130 NNAT.

Maybe. NNAT still too loose. My guess is around 15% in pool, 12% eligible. They should get it down to 12% in pool, 10% eligible, likethe old days.

She's a quirky learner- thoughtful and curious but not a great writer or into math. So why stress....and just let her be. Opinions welcome as I'm confused.




AAP is usually a great place for quirky learners. The teachers "get" these kids and encourage and nurture them. Maybe she seems average but maybe she has a lot of potential that is not being drawn out right now.

Good luck to you and your child!

My son is in 5th grade. New to this place. Took the test. I didn't get the score yet. Any idea when will we get the scores?
