[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Isn’t the difference between 120 and 132 just two questions? These are second graders. I don’t think a kid who misses 2 questions should be disqualified from a program. My kid got a 141 composite but scored 124 on the verbal. I think he got 5 questions wrong. I know he got one wrong in quant and can’t remember how many wrong but I think it was 3 wrong and he got like 138. Don’t have the paper in front of me. I didn’t ask my kid but from these boards, there may have been some confusing questions or pictures of things kids weren’t familiar with (flip phone).[/quote] The difference is more than two questions. The CogAT is a very crude instrument though, with a very low ceiling, and I'd be happier if they found a better test. A hard cutoff of 132 wouldn't disqualify kids who failed to make the cut. The kids would simply need to get an IQ or achievement test with a composite in the top 2%. [/quote]
