[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering the cogat is only represented by fcps kids, with 12000 kids taking the test, there are 120 in the 99 percentile. Simple as that.[/quote] I don't think the percentile ranking is a measurement against other students in FCPS, is it? I thought it was more like a comparison to a much larger sample, i.e. a statewide population?[/quote] This year's cogat was normed locally, using only FCPS second graders. For example, if they had only given the test to 100 kids, the top kid would be the only one to get 99th percentile score. [/quote]
