My kid got in to the full time AAP program for 3rd with an 89th percentile math iReady, but that was not enough to get her level II AAP in math this year (2nd). There's no "minimum threshhold" for CogAT and NNAT. They look at those with iReady, grades, and most importantly to the committee teacher recommendation plus your parent questionaire and referral form (you have to do those even if your kid is in pool to give the best picture of your kid). But the actual deciding factor is the HOPE scale, which at least at our school is compiled by 1st grade teacher, 2nd grade teacher, and AART in a committee.
They do HOPE/GBRS every year for every kid. Theoretically you could see at the beginning of next year what this year's HOPE is.
Which means that if your child is new to the school in 2nd grade, they won't get in b/c the teachers don't know him yet.

In FCPS/VA this is an end-of-second grade skill. Even at the private we are switching our kids to (does Singapore Math) it's a beginning of second grade skill.

It was on the iready practice test Dh found online. The question seemed pretty reasonable. It was like 42 + 19. DD didn’t know how to carry the 1. There was also a 3 digit addition problem she also had trouble with. I am glad this is not something you should know in first grade and she isn’t behind.
All I know is it went from counting to 100 to testing on simple algebra, balancing money, solving word problems and asking about logic that she had never been exposed to before.
If you're this worried about it, then get some math workbook - any math workbook - or a homeschool math curriculum and do practice together over the summer. Or do 1st grade Beast Academy.
In FCPS you have three options: 1) Be happy with the gappy, slowly paced (FCPS math chair literally said she thought it was too slow) curriculum. 2) Supplement at home/via tutoring. 3) Go private.
I’m not really worried. She is in first grade. I’m more disappointed in FCPS and glad I have discovered this at a young age. I at least now know that I will need to supplement.
