Anyone know how that is historically sent?

(pdf page 14 or slide #28)
It shows a sample report (more informative than the FCPS version that we just got). I think it implies that the "Total score" (composite) also maps to a same-shaped distribution (with mean 100 and sd 15).
In other words, Total Score 130 (mean+ 2sd ) ~ 97..h percentile and 135 (mean+ 2.33*sd) ~ 99th percentile.

Did the county not send this form?

Kind of crazy how little info there is online. That might be why FCPS choose it, harder to prep so they are hoping for results that are more realistic then under the CoGAT and NNAT. Give it a few years and people will figure out how to prep for it.

Sorry I’m skeptical too. There is a reason Google didn’t help much and it’s that there isn’t that much information out there.. pay attention to bait and switch from ngat to nnat

Just so you know, that's not "information." That's LLMs hallucinating stuff based on similar information that's out there about other similar tests, like the NNAT. Please don't trust it.

I normally goggle for percentiles and info on the test.

Those are great scores. If you feel comfortable sharing, what was the composite? I'm wondering how high the raw scores trail upward.

158. The documentation says that the individual scores go up to 160 (normed to mean 100, sd 15, so it’s easy to compute percentiles), but the composite goes up to 175 and I can’t find info on the sd for that.

My kid’s scores were inconsistent in a surprising way, and what’s slightly frustrating about it is that there is very little info out there on this test. We don’t even have a percentile for the total score. I’m not even really sure what the verbal section consists of.

At the end of the day, it is what it is, but if this is the test that is used for the AAP evaluation one would hope we’d get some more disclosures about the test.

Over 10,000 students took this test. Yet here you are making an assertion that because a handful of posters on the anonymous board have some differences in scores, there’s reason to be concerned.

Dear god. Do you hear how absurd you sound?

Mine composite score is 152, N and Q > 99%, V is 98%

(129, 124, 117) -> 130
