[quote=Anonymous]Now, don't get all uptight on me. I'm just curious if your child was told not to answer questions if they don't know the answer. This was the instruction my child was given and then she said she only answered 2-3 questions in one part (or sub-part). Immediately, I thought -- well, he won't be scoring high on that portion of the test. But, it also kind of seemed strange that the teacher wouldn't encourage the children to pick the best answer, even if they aren't sure it's right. My child would have taken the instruction to leave it blank as: "unless you are sure you know the right answer, leave it blank." Just wondering if all schools given the same instruction. Also, this might explain some children scoring lower on the CogAt than the WISC as kids with less confidence in their answers might not answer very many questions. [/quote]
