[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they actually do some samples in class in 2nd grade to get familiar with the instructions. There are plenty of prep books on Amazon and my kid enjoyed looking at the questions. No idea if he did well this year but that wasn’t my purpose - DS is a student who bugs the teacher with a million questions during tests and I wanted to try and head it off. [/quote] Thank you! I don’t know what the teacher has done but I suspect not much because not very many kids are taking it in fifth. In our school (and maybe others) they give it in third and then in fifth if the kids didn’t take it in third, and DS was homeschooled in third. I admit I do care a bit what score he gets just because this is the only standardized test score they will use for math placement (unless they use fifth grade SOLs). He wasn’t enrolled or was absent for all other tests. He really is a STEM kid and I’d like him to be able to be on the advanced track. But obviously in the grand scheme of things this is not a big deal. My biggest reason for wanting to give him a heads up is that, as far as I know, all his other standardized tests have been multiple choice and it would be nice to know that this is a totally different kind of test. [/quote] Cogat is not typically used for math placement… math inventory is. The math inventory is performed multiple times in the classroom throughout the year. [/quote]
