155.
Kid gets 3s and 4s in school and is more interested in friends than classwork.
Confused... dd got 134 And 98th percentile
Is 155 possible? What was the raw score in that case? Perfect?
Score is relative to age hence someone born in October (oldest in class) getting all correct answer would get lower score due to age factor compare to someone born in September with 48/48 correct.
DD (1st grader) got full score 160 (48/48 correct), 99 percentile.

Congratulations!!! 99% is excellent.
Does anyone have a link to the NNAT raw score scaled score conversion?
I wrote the AART teacher and she said the only pay attention to the NAI and said she would ask the test coordinator.
You sound like a tremendous PITA. Don't you think the AART has better things to be doing with her time?
The AART teachers are there to answer any questions you may have on the program. Did you notice that the PP said she wrote to the AART? She did not stop by at her office and was simply hoping the AART would reply.
Have you always been a bully?
The AART teachers are supposed to be *teaching* kids. Providing pullouts and enrichment. This poster had a ridiculous data scoring question that doesn't even matter, and she wants the AART to go research it for her. That's not "answering questions about the program".
When you gave birth to your first child, i am sure you called that pediatricians office many times with all sorts of questions. Those nurses and doctors patiently answered all your questions. Didnt they have anything else to do? of course they did, but it is part of their job to attend phone calls so these parents dont visit the clinics and ERs unnecessarily. My AART encourages parents to send emails and she has specific days you can schedule 5 minutes meet up with her.
i actually didn't, because i'm not an annoying person. I am capable of researching info on my own. Why on earth would you hassle a teacher for this pointless information? What difference does it make?

Teachers are also there to answer questions you may have. We may also think you are a PITA if you approach us a certain way or ask certain questions. We're human. Look up the term bully. It means, "a person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker." How are you weaker than I am? How have I used my strength or power to harm or intimidate you? Get over yourself? You didn't like what I said...doesn't change it.
hmmmm, sounds like you are an AART. I pity your students. Also you had to search for the meaning of BULLY, you silly bully.

What do you think your comment made you sound like? If you don't like the poster's question don't answer...
NP here: I didn't mention anything before, but it does make her sound like a PITA. I'm sure the AART will help in any way she can but she'll inwardly roll her eyes. What does it matter?!?!
What a weird place this thread went....calling people PITA, psychos (that was another poster not the person quoted above). Anytime anyone wonders why some of the children in Northern Virginia act the way they do, just come here and read some of these responses.

No one is saying the kid is Einstein - and thanks for the PPs who pointed out the name checked serial killer. How obsessed must one be with IQ scores to know that person's score?
Any rational person with kids in the FCPS system would quickly realize that AAP is designed for a top 15% (county-wide) student achievement population. 15% of the kids running around here are not Einsteins, but 15% of them are ready for above grade level work. That's the whole point of ADVANCED Academics.
And if you think a kid who scores in the 150s on the NNAT would not score above cut-off (132) on the CoGat then you are just not paying attention. Look at all the past years' threads about in/not in decisions and the public scores posted - while NNATs are typically higher than CoGat scores, there isn't a 20 point gap between the scores.
As to the GBRS, well it's culturally biased..
Please don't bite my head off. But if u look through the previous admission threads there are plenty of cases of children who met the benchmark on score bot not the other especially with a higher NNAT.
Also just curious how is the GBRS culturally biased?????

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/01/why-are-there-so-few-black-children-in-gifted-and-talented-programs/424707/
I guess that explains the demographics for TJ....
Right - I don't think there are a lot of under represented minorities there.
Asians and Indian Americans have never been considered under represented minorities in education so their representation at TJ does not dispute that there is cultural bias among educator recommendations. I am so perplexed as to how people can be so dense.
Lumping all Asians together also places some Asian kids at a disadvantage. My DD's friend's parents are first generation Vietnamese immigrants who don't have a college education and don't have a firm grasp of English. Both of her scores were right outside of the benchmark, and the teacher or AART never encouraged the parents to parent refer. I feel like it would have been different if the child wasn't Asian and was from an ESOL family. I think teachers tend to try to point out the process to kids who do well and are from ESOL families to make sure a wide net is cast, but I think there's an assumption that all Asian parents already know this stuff. To me DD's friend is the epitome of the type of kid whose parents should be told about the process if you're trying to reach ESOL from a disadvantaged SES.

It is dependent raw score and age. Not sure they would give out that level of detail. One of my kids had a higher raw score than sibling, but received a lower scaled/index score because of a 10 month difference in age when they took the test.
