It can, but not significantly. For instance, .[/quote]

It depends on what you consider to be significant.  The ceilings on each section of the CogAT are low enough that getting 1 or 2 questions correct that otherwise would be wrong could be the difference between a 95th percentile score and an in-pool one.  For example, my kid got 49/52 on one section of the CogAT and 48/52 on another, for scores of 130 and 128 on each section.  One more correct answer on either section could have increased the scores pretty significantly and almost certainly would have led to an in-pool composite.

It won't raise a 100 to a 132, but it easily could cause a child who should score a 115 to instead score a 125.  Or it could turn a 125 into an in-pool score.  And either of those cases could be the difference between being accepted and being rejected.  [/quote]
