[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cogat allows the committee to better compare students. If all students take Cogat why not present what should be a great Cogat score. Apples to apples [/quote]

The committee knows how to interpret the WISC and compare students who have taken other tests. This is a ridiculous argument. OP- do whatever you want, but take comments on here w a grain of salt. Nobody knows exactly what the committee is looking for. It’s a holistic process now and your child already has excellent scores from test that isn’t preppable, like the cogat. Testing scores are only one part of the equation. At our high SES, so many parents prep their kids that the cogat is basically worthless as a measure.

If I were you, I’d focus more on work samples, parent referral, and questionnaire and be sure to speak to why your child needs the advanced curriculum. I personally wouldn’t bother w Cogat w those WISC scores but if you’re concerned, you can always have DC take it and decide after you see scores whether or not you want to use them. [/quote]
