As someone who doesn't care either way about the appeals process and how kids get into the program, don't you think the factors mentioned in the CogAT testing really do matter?  For instance, if a kid isn't feeling well but still does well on the test, doesn't that also mean that they are the type of kid that can succeed no matter what is going on?  After all, you can't re-schedule that Algebra test or science project because you don't feel 100%.  You can't re-schedule SATs over and over because your kiddo didn't sleep well the night before and might be a little tired.  The whole 'My child wasn't 100%' excuse seems like nothing more than someone trying to justify their child's less than perfect scores. After all, are you going to keep them home from school every time they have the sniffles because they might get a B?  Pop quizzes must be a nightmare!

The one Algebra test don't determine whole grade for the year.  You get plenty of time to finish the science project.
You get chance to take SAT a few time.  On average students take 3 times.

There might be cases that kids got really sick or had an accident.  Of course there may be cases the parents are just making excuses.

Teachers konw the student best?  Remember teachers' recommendations are only secondary reference when entering colleges.
