Tumbatoo Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm planning to give the ITBS to my 7 year old this spring. It's mostly for my records, but we have encountered an occasional camp/event that will take standardized tests as "proof" of advanced level/giftedness. Anyway, I think I'm going give her the 3rd grade ITBS (so she doesn't hit the ceiling) and have them norm for first and third grade. I'm stick on the CoGaT. Should I give her the first grade level, since she's technically a first grader, or the second grade level since she is working above grade level? Would third be too much? Any thoughts on this?

maize Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I thought cogat levels went by age not grade level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbatoo Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Maybe it does, but I'm ordering from BJU testing, and my options are by grade level. I think that's why I'm a little unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'd give the Cogat at level unless they are able to norm a higher level by age. You are most interested in showing how she is compared to others her age for the purposes of gifted camps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'd give both at the higher level. You will get the scores back for the CogAT according to grade and age. If you want to know how well your child did compared to the higher grade level, just put that grade on the form (you are going to want to claim the higher grade level anyway for the ITBS).
