[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your goal? Are you trying to figure out IQ?

I have a special needs child who has taken an IQ test. As the official statements say, Cogat is limited. IQ tests cover a broader range of skills in each subject area. Cogat is more like a proxy.

Your child’s lowest score is in verbal. The verbal section of Cogat largely tests categorizing skills whereas IQ tests tests for a broader range of verbal skills. It's possible that your child would score higher or lower for verbal if tested on an actual IQ test.

If you want more insight on your child’s actual IQ, you can get your child tested fairly easily. There are many providers in the DMV. But your child did well on Cogat, and I'm guessing you already know that your child is bright. So, in the absence of special needs, I don't know what more an exact score would give you. It sounds like you have a smart child, and unless you need to prove that for a gifted camp or private school, it's probably unnecessary.[/quote]

My goal was to figure out the SAS because I see it being discussed here as one of the indicators of acceptance into AAP. I was trying to figure out if we are talking about lower 130s vs. higher 130s or lower 140s in my child's case. The school will also consider third grade MAP (he scores in 99%) and work samples.[/quote]
