[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cogat can be taken at GMU. I would have my child take it. [/quote]

There’s no reason to take the Cogat. Your child has excellent scores on WISC. GBRS will be important as will work samples. I’d focus on picking a combination of excellent work samples from school-produced work and things done at home. [/quote]

Cogat taken at GMU will be taken more seriously than privately administered tests. GBRS from private school teachers will be taken with a large grain of salt. [/quote]

No, it won’t. WISC is far more accurate than CogAT and any perceived bias from private testing is a fantasy that exists only on this forum. [/quote]

The committee dislikes WISC and couldn't possibly make that clearer. [/quote]

How do they make it so clear? Please share. I only hear this argument on this board with absolutely no evidence to support. The committee was just fine with my child’s private WISC. Further, this is a child coming from private school and not a current FCPS student. WISC testing is pretty standard in these situations. [/quote]
