DS has always been the smartest kid around -- reading fully not long after his third birthday; highest math and reading groups at school; maxed the chart on that reading and math test they gave in K; etc. etc. All his teachers (even his piano teacher) have always commented on how bright he is, how quickly he learns, etc.
What gives? Are we sunk for AAP? Should we consider prepping the next test? We didn't talk about this one at all and maybe he didn't understand the importance of getting the questions right.
Ugh, this is all so new to me, I went to private from K-12 so none of these standardized tests until high school...
what did his violin teacher say?

Anonymous wrote:New poster here. Any recommendations for CogAT practice games? We're not going to go crazy, but I would like DS to have at least some exposure to the various question formats before the test. I taught LSAT for years so I understand that some fluency with the question formats can make a big difference.
No you're not "sunk for AAP based on one standardized test score. There is the CogAt next year, and, if you're that worried about it, do a private WISC. If you don't get an in-pool score, parent refer. There is also opportunity for teacher input with the GBRS, work samples, letters of recommendation, etc.Anonymous wrote:Are we sunk for AAP?

Read it all. Just sad.
... and Crickets to this. It's sad pp. you nailed it.
No. It's "crickets" because there's no response needed to that post. Not because pp nailed it.
+2. It's crickets because a KID DIED in our community only a few hours before PP posted and used that death to score points in the Mommy Wars. Most people didn't click the link. Those that did wanted to punc PP and/or tell her to STFU. But that's what it takes...
STFU. You are a terrible person.
You are a terrible person and a terrible parent. Reducing a very real tragedy to "points" in a argument? You are disgusting. I'm sure you did want to tell them to stfu. Easier than facing your truth.
