[quote=Anonymous]I know that the Cogat test given to 3rd graders to select for their entry into the Highly Gifted Centers in 4th grade is calculated according to the date of birth (so that their answers can be compared to a representative cohort of their own age group in order to come up with a percentile, as in every IQ test). So in my opinion this slightly disadvantages children who have been redshirted because their score will be computed by comparison to children of their own age group in a higher grade, not the children in their current grade. While these IQ tests are not knowledge-based, being in a higher grade at the time of the test and having been challenged intellectually in that way probably does prepare the student better. [/quote]
