Nomination Students in Kindergarten through 12th grade may be nominated by a parent, student, teacher or other school personnel at any time. Students in kindergarten through 3rd grade may be nominated for AIG service when they demonstrate consistent performance two or more grade levels above their current grade. The SBCGE will review available indicators for all nominations.

The Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) administers the CogAT to all 3rd grade students. Students who obtain a CogAT composite or subtest score at or above the 85th percentile will be eligible to take the Iowa. Students who score at the 95th percentile on either the CogAT or Iowa will be considered for nomination to the School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBCGE).
