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]

I agree.

A kid with a 120 score has just as many if not more peers in the gen ed class as they do in AAP.

Keep AAP at the top 2%.  The level 3 base programs will then be full and have lots of enrichment for all those smart kids in the 120s to get challenged at school.

Both programs will be full, and none of them bloated.[/quote]
