[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]cogat 140 is much higher percentile. looks like they accepted almost all who appealed. where as in the first round it is very restrictive. this only proves appeal process is a farce.[/quote]

It is a higher percentage, yes...but of what?  It measures something...specifically how the child is at taking the the CogAT.  The ability to take the CogAT that day is dependent on 1) attention of the kid, 2) how the kid is feeling, 3) the kids intelligence, and 4) preparation.

because of the way the WISC is given, attention is not an issue, preparation does not work, and how the kid is feeling (i.e., sick) can be factored in -- i.e., lets reschedule for a different day.  That means the WISC is measuring intelligence whereas the other tests are measuring something that includes intelligence.

Unlike some parents on this board, the county understands this.  They also understand that the county can not afford the time or money to give every child a WISC.  They understand the shortcomings, and use the GBRS as a measure to offset the other issues. [/quote]
