Beansmom2 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wondering if anyone has any experience with this. My daughter must score in the 98% in 2 categories (COGATS) to qualify for an advanced learning program. She also must score in 95% or above on ITBS in reading and math (has 99% in both). In our old school system she only needed 1 98% on cogats. She is now entering grade 7. Her last COGATs were from 3rd grade. Her composites (1st and 2nd) historically have been 98%. The schools here aren't great except for this program. Now I am sweating out the wait. Does anyone have any info? Have your childs scores increased over time?:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 My kids' CogAT scores actually fluctuated quite a bit. It is helpful when testing for gifted programs for them to give the test intended for kids at least two grades higher. This provides more of a ceiling and helps to eliminate issues with lower scores due to silly mistakes. (I'm not a fan of using the CogAT as a determiner for giftedness (especially for 2E kids), but it seems to be the way things are done these days.)

jenbrdsly Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ditto what Kai said. Also, I have some Cogat info up on my blog. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
