[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So, when someone refers to the "low score and high GBRS" kids, we are NOT talking about kids who tested in the 50th percentile, or even the 75th, who are just coasting into the Center b/c their teachers wrote them a great GBRS. [/quote] Well said....and a little test prep can easily result in a few more question correctly, which could mean the difference between 120 and and 140 on the CogAT. It would be interesting to look at grades in the 5th grade as a function of GBRS and CogAT/NNAT in the second grade. Which has a stronger correlation? I suspect no one will do the study. [/quote] No, actually! The measures themselves are designed to not be "teachable." Some of the children who are in the pool but have a low GBRS do not get in because it appears that their scores are inflated or not an accurate representation of their true abilities.[/quote]
