Prepping/Scamming the Cogat

[Anonymous]

It would not make sense to the leisure crowd. No brains.

Does coGAT have analogy questions?

Is coGAT an aptitude?


What ridiculous questions.

COGAT is used in FCPS to test FIRST graders. I doubt it has analogy questions. Again, it is not an achievement test--it is designed to test ability.

The analogies on the SAT were considered one of the most difficult sections.

So is discrete math and your point is analogies are hard for you to grasp?

I LOVED analogy questions! I thought they were fun and I enjoyed doing them. I like to use that format in my head to compare and contrast real life issues. Too bad they're not using them any more.

I know that's off topic, but lots of other posts are off topic, so what the heck?!

I was coached that when you don't know the answer and have to guess C is the correct answer (c for correct)

Oops, I just incriminated myself. I cheated!

Cross-posted.
Love analogies but would never act as though I am testing another adult with one outside of playing a board game together.
It would be thought of as weird and even slightly creepy if I did.

All ma kids love analogies. Almost like a fun game as they all play be making them up and trying to stump each other.

I see weirdness and creepiness is in the eyes of adults not the playing games with words.

lassitude = law school, good salary, sleeping with lots of women. I dunno. Which path to choose?

Temptation indeed. I would prefer to have it both ways in the age of entitlement. Let others do the heavy intellectual and physical lifting and I get the bucks and the babes. But the financial crash, HIV and depression/recession has all changed that now.

How to ruin a good game for the century.

Now, you have to go back to school and try out real courses instead of rocks for jocks or holes and poles.

Rocks for Jocks? You know that geology/geophysics is a major that currently has very low unemployment thanks to the oil industry

The leisure crowd with no brains being the non-Chinese or the non-preppers? Or both?

Jesus Chris, why targeting Chinese so much? If you look around, most of the SAT or ACT prep academies are operated by the main stream (Princeton, Kaplan, College Board) or S. Koreans. My daughter took the SAT prep course in a Korean academy. I have looked for Chinese ones but could only find one called Dr. Li and that is in College Park.

Not the OP, but I believe the PP was in response to an exchange about verbal GRE scores in graduate schools appearing somehow inflated due to heavy prepping, particularly in students from China. I'm with you, I don't think this is the case with NNAT/CogAT prep places in FC.
