[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Cogat V scores are more meaningful and closer together, for Level IV eligible students. The mean for all races was between 114 and 122.

For both NNAT and Cogat, there's no real difference between a high score of 140 or 150 or 160, all of which are very high scores. I was definitely surprised at the minimum scores in the 90s for all races.[/quote]
Cogat report is for verbal only. So it’s not more meaningful.
Also, an 8 pt discrepancy in this kind of test is a meaningful difference (let alone 10, 20 pts), even without considering students were already prescreened by the Level4 eligibility process.
It clearly showed URM students were systematically favored in the selection process, a conclusion that the study did recognize.[/quote]

8 points can be just one or two questions.[/quote]

8 points can be one or two questions at the high end of scores.  It could be the difference between a 132 and a 140.  The difference between 114 and 122 is more likely about 4-5 questions.

I hope the admitted kids with the very low scores either had a WISC or had some other strong evidence that the CogAT scores were not valid.  [/quote]
