Any surprises with the results? Do they match expectations?

Do any of your results indicate local scores? Ours don’t, and didn’t for older child either. Older child didn’t even show raw score, just percentiles. This one at least has a score with it, but nothing to compare it to, so it’s kind of meaningless.

How did you receive them since yesterday was asynchronous? In Parentvue?

It was in the postal mail. But we received an email from the GTS teacher to expect it. There was a letter accompanying it that explained the scores very briefly but there are no ranges listed.

We did not get local scores or grade scores.

We got national age and grade percentile ranks and standard age score, but no local scores. I wish we had a breakdown of the abilities scores, but only have the total score, so we don't really know which areas were weakest/strongest. But our expectations were in line with the results.

So it looks like people are getting different levels of disclosure from different schools? Why isn't this standardized?

Because every school is it’s own fiefdom. Holdover from Coach Murphy. It’s needs to be dealt with ASAP.

Our student should have scored higher on the CogAt. What is the best way to appeal? I don't think he was feeling well that day.

Same here - can we submit private scores?

If it's to be eligible for gifted services, what does your school's RTG say? They don't just rely on CoGat, but on a host of other things to be identified. Unless you're thinking of qualifying for programs like Johns Hopkins' CTY. Curious to know why you'd think the student should have scored higher - did you prep?

What percentile qualifies for gifted?

Does CogAT testing have an Equity component?
