[quote=Anonymous]My mild-to-moderate ADHD combined type kid did fine on COGAT without meds (we got the diagnosis literally a week after COGAT), no prepping. I was actually surprised by how well he did. However, his iReady scores had been strong so I knew he could generally focus on a test when needed. I think it helped that he thought the "puzzles" on the COGAT were fun. My concern would be that if you think they need meds to score well enough for AAP on COGAT, they will probably need meds to do well in AAP in general. Which is fine (and we will probably go that route eventually for our son), but if you want to medicate him for COGAT but then not for actual school, that seems unfair to him. At this age, I think either you medicate or you don't. Selectively medicating in 2nd grade for an important test, etc. doesn't seem to be common, although I know it is when they're older. [/quote]
