118 NNAT. My kids' abilities at this kind of test are relatively poor. Older brother scored 100 and then a 120 on CoGAT later.

I’ve had countless parents tell me NNAT scores were the outlier for their kids as well. FCPS probably still bothers to offer it just to get some data for the file on who is prepping. I’m kidding - kind of.

Agree with this.
DD got 148 couple of years back, but her GBRS and Cogat was lower.
She is not in AAP.

I don’t think NNAT has that much weightage

The NNAT is a weird test. Seems like lots of kids over- or under-perform. Mine scored in the teens for the NNAT but got a 133 on the CoGAT non-verbal, which supposedly measures similar skills but is harder? Still can't figure that one out.

It really is. DD did not like that the questions were read out loud ("I know how to read!"), and would get side tracked by the oddest things.

Questions aren't read out loud. Test has been computer based for years now. it's visual queue's...

I got my tests mixed up. I think CogAT was read out loud. Anyway, DD didn't like the NNAT at all, because there were no words, just visual cues.

You know they do it that way so as not to disadvantage kids who aren't reading well in Grade 1, right? It's part of the equity push.

But why do they need both the NNAT and the CogAT non-verbal? Don’t they both assess spatial skills? Seems duplicative.

What’s the purpose of your post? To brag about your child? Cogat will be in Fall this year. Usually a center school has 2 to 3 AAP classrooms.

I’ve seen other similar feedback. I wonder if they will keep using it next year.

It’s always been this way and they still use it. It’s a screening tool to put kids in the pool whose parents might otherwise not refer. Other than that, it serves no purpose.

This. They use the NNAT and CogAT in order to find kids who are capable whose parents don't know about AAP or who come from groups were parents don't have the knowledge or desire to refer their kids. The tests are not to automatically identify the kids who belong in AAP but to make sure that all the kids who might belong are looked at. Without the tests, there would be a lot of referrals from High SES families and hardly any from low SES families.

People put far too much weight on the outcome of these tests.

126...high SES...DS over achieved by my standard...prepped on format and how long he has to sit through with one book...not really concerned...
