So OP, I'm curious. Did your DC get in?

[list]In my experience if you do not have the AART and/or teacher on your DS's side. Those scores will not gain AAP acceptance.


Those scores are very good. The VQN of 90 is probably much better than a 90th percentile in prior years on the CogAT. Based on those scores, your DS would probably do well on the WISC so if the GBRS is low, think about the WISC in the event you have to appeal. Also, pp what is your "experience"?


Found out only today from AART that GBRS is 16. Comments by Teacher/AART are good and they mentioned daily things which DS does and how creative they are. My DS does those things at home(which are in the comments), but I thought they are expected from a 2nd grader as his Report cards are never that great. Some 3's (other than Language Arts/Mathematics, Music, Art, PE which are 4). Will just wait for decision otherwise go for WISC. (I have heard from a parent that there are many kids who scored above 95 in CogAT from that school so will just wait).

Have you heard anything from the AART yet? Keeping in mind that the AART may not be at your child's school every day, I'd say email again or call on Friday if you haven't gotten a response by then.

Thanks a lot.


Having him take the WISC would be one way to see if his FXAT score was an aberration. I remember my son said he could barely hear the teacher read the questions when they took the test in class. Good luck.


From prior years, this is a close call. Please let us know when you hear.

If teachers had enough time to truly evaluate, but with 25-30 kids, pretty tough.

This story is why I think the process is kind of ridiculous. The AAP placement should have nothing to do with the test scores because they truly aren't indicative of need or success in those classes.


Could it be because of the difference in pyramids?
